It has proven very difficult for public transportation to reverse or even slow the trend to SOVs.

Let's take a step back, and consider two key facts about privately owned cars: 373) they're parked about 95 percent of the time, and 2) more than 70 percent of commutes in most US cities are in single-occupancy vehicles (SOVs).

There are two versions of the app, which are unfortunately iOS-only for now: SOVS costs 99 cents and is meant to be used when you want a solo shot, and SOVS2 is free and comes with some innovative poses for group photos.

Judge Perrier first appeared in the story "The Apocalypse War", fighting the Sovs at the frontline. She did not appear again until years later when writer Garth Ennis took over the strip and brought her back in "A Clockwork Pineapple". She was then killed off in "Judgement Day", swarmed by zombies before she could reach the city.

A regional bøfsandwich variation with brown gravy A bøfsandwich (literally translates to 'steak sandwich'), is the classic Danish take on a hamburger. It contains the hamburger elements of a cooked ground beef patty placed inside a sliced bread roll. Bøfsandwiches are typically sold from hotdog stands and in traditional fastfood establishments, and have been described as an "archetypal Danish snackbar classic"."Gastromands nytårskur: Bøfsandwich med SOVS", Familiefaren, Gastromand.

A single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) is a privately operated vehicle whose only occupant is the driver. The drivers of SOVs use their vehicles primarily for personal travel, daily commuting and for running errands. The types of vehicles include, but are not limited to, sport utility vehicles (SUVs), light-duty trucks, and any combination thereof, along with all the various van and car sizes, but would generally be taken to exclude human-powered vehicles such as bicycles. This term is used by transportation engineers and planners.

In Danish cuisine brown sauce (brun sovs) is a very common sauce, and refers to a sauce with a meat stock base (in modern times, often replaced by broth made from bouillon cubes), thickened by a roux, and sometimes colored a rich, deep brown with a product consisting of dark caramelized sugar, known as brun kulør (literally, "brown colouring") or madkulør (literally, "food colouring"). It is similar to what is known in the U.S. as a brown gravy. Variations include mushroom sauce, onion sauce, and herbed brown sauce. The Norwegian variety (brun saus) is made in the same way as the Danish brown sauce, usually from wheat flour.

In Denmark, traditionally, they are made from minced veal, pork or beef (or a blend of two of these meats); chopped onions; eggs; milk (or water); bread crumbs (or oatmeal or flour); salt; and pepper; then formed into balls and flattened somewhat. They are then pan-fried in pork fat or beef fat, or more commonly in modern times in butter, margarine or even vegetable oil. Another popular variation is fiskefrikadeller replacing the meat with fish as the main ingredient and often served with remoulade. As a main dish they are most often served with boiled white potatoes and gravy (brun sovs) accompanied by pickled beetroot or cooked red cabbage.

Kazan's advice and inside information led to Mega-City One's regime change action in Ciudad Barranquilla, in order to prevent a Sov attempt to do the same; Kazan was drawn looking sinister at the end of the story, suggesting a deeper agenda to his actions.Judge Dredd Megazine 246-9, "Regime Change" Kazan seemed likely to become a significant villain in future stories by writer Gordon Rennie, until Rennie announced his retirement from writing comics in 2008.Meet The Big Game Hunters, The Sunday Mail, May 11, 2008 In 2012 writer Al Ewing brought the character back,2000 AD #1803 in a story described by the editor as a prelude to coming events. (In this story, Kazan remarked "and here I thought you'd forgotten me") Following the events of the Day of Chaos, Dredd advocated killing Kazan: he found it suspicious that "the one time you don't have info on the Sovs is when they're about to hit us".
