So Africa/Mexico/Oceania must have a very high proportion of drivers to skew the world average, as from the graph alone there’s no way the average is 51%
Especially the area where China/India are in the 20% area and are 10x bigger in population than N-America
Hello! Australia is a thing! We get around just as much as everyone else does, thank you very much! I’ve got the emu feathers to prove it!
charts without New Zealand
I think the Mexico data is really off, but at the same time I have seen several cities (like Culiacan, Mexicali, and Guadalajara) where the price for public transport has gone way up while making the service quality worse (fewer buses, fewer routes, no AC on summer)
so it would not surprise me if usage keeps going down over time
Me: stays in basement
An entire continent is missing.
More than one!
Also excluding Mexico for some reason.
Mexico is part of North America…
It is, but read the small font: it says they excluded Mexico from their North America stats.
oh. lol.
There are no buses in Antarctica, silly
0% cars, 0% public transport, 30% walking/biking, 30% swimming, 40% belly tobogganing
The North America stat is fine if you’re only talking about the US and Canada… but since they left Mexico out it’s not really accurate
I think they’re trying to tell a story about the way cities in the US and Canada are brutally malformed for moving people around in them. Mexico is much more like Central America in its modality, and so adding their stats in obscures the abnormalities that are the US and Canada.
People who say driving is freedom have never lived within walking distance of the amenities they need. You think driving to Costco/Walmart is convenient? I’ve left the house 5 minutes before the grocery store closes. When I want to make a recipe, I don’t check the fridge for what I have until literally right before I need to start making it because forgetting something adds at most 15 minutes to the prep time. I’ve never had to haul ten grocery bags from my car because I never need to buy that much at one time and then watch half of it go bad in the fridge. I can go get snacks when I’m high as a kite on weed without worrying about killing someone on the road.
Amen, Driving is dependance.
How did they get an average of 51% for cars, when all but one bar is below that?
Through extremely heavy use of cars in Africa of course.
Everyone knows that in Africa people get around in cars 24/7 100%.weighted averages.
What about Africa ?
