I've lived in multiple countries in Europe, and in Japan, and in Canada, Australia and the US so I feel compelled to reply :P > European mostly commute by car... In France ~4 times as many people commute by car Yeah, because there's effall transit outside major cities? This is kind of a pointless statistic because overwhelmingly when we talk about this it's in the context of major cities. And the fact that smaller cities don't have transit isn't something desirable, it's a sad failure that those cities are trying to address. > Even in Paris, something like a third of all commuters drive a personal car Now we're talking - in major cities, the overwhelming majority of people do not commute by car. It would literally by physically impossible for everyone to commute by car. > many if not most would prefer to drive, they just can’t afford it > biggest user of public transit are students and retirees this is pure bs
