IMHO, for the most ideal city experience, transit options should be prioritized in this order: 1) pedestrians, 2) buses, 3) bikes, 4) cars. Biking being faster than motoring is excellent news towards this ideal.

- bluntfang 9y agokneejerk, i tend to agree..but bussing is really necessary to for people with accessibility issues.
- francisofascii 9y agoMy reasoning was a bus can transport many more people than one bike, but sure, I am agreeable to switching 2 and 3.
- T-hawk 9y agoIt's not just the quantity; it's the overall efficiency, of quantity compared to the cost of infrastructure and operations. Buses hold more but cost a lot more to build and drive, including stations and maintenance facilities, and externalities like emissions and gridlock. Bike infrastructure is cheap and operations are free to a city.
