1 million drivers is by no means a small city. That’s probably only 4 cities in the entire US: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston.

- Retric 3y agoAustin Texas has 1 million people living inside city limits, but 1.8 million people in the metro area and therefore more than 1 million drivers. Large vs small vs tiny is an arbitrary separation, but Chicago is the 39th largest city in the world. Auston is so far down that list it’s a small city IMO. By comparison Terre Haute, Indiana with 60k people can be called a city, but it’s a tiny city.
- sokoloff 3y agoThe ones living outside the city limits: is it practical for and done by most of them to use public transit and thereby save money by not owning a car?
- Retric 3y agoIt’s more likely to reduce the number of cars owned by a family than to allow a single person to avoid owning a car. However, simply reducing the number of trips makes a significant difference.
