Of course, the article has absolutely nothing to do with millennials, other than the fact that the people running TransitMatters happen to be “mostly” millennials (which could mean that a number of them are not millennials).

Generational language like this does nothing to curb ageism, and it detracts from an otherwise interesting article.

I really don't understand the focus on generations. Why don't we just use labels for age groups instead of birth year ranges? Most of the behaviors of a given "generation" change as they age, so it's not very helpful IMO for much of anything.

I also agree that it doesn't really matter what age group the people are in, especially for this article.
