Which it seems to not be [1].

- dividefuel 3y agoI'm honestly surprised how relatively close these values are. This says personal trucks use about 2x as much energy as mass transit. I would've thought the ratio would be much higher.
- ljf 3y agoThe passenger numbers seem low to me - but I can only assume they come from research - so the passenger figures will skew that. A full bus (60 people?) would be far more efficient.
