Ann Arbor showing up on these maps will never not be funny to me
Giant wasteland of urban sprawl
Numbers for DC seem inaccurate to me – what’s your data source?
Considering how dense and populated both Florida and Texas are, it really shows how strong car culture is in North America.
The number would be higher in Chicagoland, but:
* COVID reduced the number of commuters, and some moved to the suburbs.
* There’s a fair number of people who drive, irrationally, due to some perceived need for control or due to misconceptions about safety (Chicagoland public transit in quite safe overall.)
I doubt what this map considers „metro areas.“ North of Seattle to south of Olympia and out into the forest and mountains? Portland to Corvallis and out nearly to Bend? There’s simply not enough transit infrastructure in many of those more rural areas for more than 5% of the population to take public transit. Including such large areas in with the cities‘ transit rates surely skews the data.
This is not a serious country lmfao
DC where you at?
Baltimore > DC area? No way. DC/Northern VA gotta be at least 5%.
No data source? No credibility 🚮
Crazy thing is if you showed this map in the early 1900s, it would be totally the opposite. We had so so many public transit options.
Is the NYC metro area’s 30% figure referring to the WHOLE metro area or just NYC? If it is referring to the whole metro area, that would mean random towns in Long Island have better public transit than 65% of major US cities.
Always surprised New Orleans isn’t higher. The transit system is pretty good
Whats the point of being a rich country if you cant own gas guzzling big cars and cant have a massive carbon footprint, accelerating the destruction of the planet? That’s literally why the USA exists!
Wow those 30% are all socialists who hate the personal freedom of an automobile. They hate our freedom, and I hope trump does something about it. So they can get a job and buy a car like a good American.
Sadly I know people that actually believe that.
Wait what color is 20-30%?
it is because driving and parking is a madhouse and sucks ass…..
All the schmucks that shout about freedom are perfectly fine with ensuring that shitty public infrastructure forces everyone to need to buy a car to get anywhere.
This is quite sad. When my family was on holiday in Switzerland, we did not even bring a car seat. All travel via trains (90%) and busses. Everything was clean, the people were nice, nobody was strung out on drugs or causing a scene. It was wonderful. Although the smoking could be cut back a bit.
This is tiresome.
America has population density that is low relative to all of the countries that have wide spread public transit.
freedom! /s
