Where I come from, there is so little urbanization that the average number of active cars is very close to the number of adults in the country.
Even within cities, the situation is pretty rough, there's just too many cars, and too little public transportation.
This creates a vicious cycle, nobody wants to move to the city because of the cars, the smog, the noise, and traffic, so everybody moves out, except that most people have to commute in the city.
I have since moved to Copenhagen, and I have not used a car in 2 years, buses are always packed but there's always another one coming in 5 minutes, and a bike is more than sufficient for my needs.
Contrasting the two was eye opening, and Copenhagen isn't even a Metropolis like NY or Tokyo.
I hope that pedestrians and cyclists reclaim cities from cars. Vastly more efficient, better for our health, the environment, noise pollution, and far safer for children.
