I'm not a cyclist, rarely use buses or cars and sometimes find it stressful dealing with the unpredictability of cyclists, but if I had to choose the best of the three images it's the one with bikes. A bus moves along a single route so it's inflexible. It might be able to carry all of the cyclists, but only if they're all taking the same route. If we break it down to range vs flexibility, while the bus is long range its delivery capability depends on the proximity of stops to destinations. The shoe, certainly the most flexible delivery mechanism, has a very low range for most people. A bicycle has a good blend of range and flexibility. Cars have excellent range yet space to park them comes at a premium, sometimes eliminating any temporal advantages that they offer as you search for a spot and then travel to your intended destination by foot. Looking at latency - as in time to start moving, of course if you're living in a regional area or the outer suburbs with a long commute the car is king. Buses can be few and far between in these areas and while shoes and bikes have low latency, range is the major limitation.
