51% of the world currently lives in cities.[1] 79% of Americans do. The preferred mode of transportation in cities is public transit – a highly useful competency of the old Maps app in which Apple has replaced the UX of "here's how to get there from here" to "hey, go look in the App Store."
51% of the world. 79% of Americans "Edge cases," you say?

- fpgeek 14y agoTo be fair, plenty of American cities have crappy public transit. On the other hand, plenty of people in non-US cities absolutely depend on public transit because cars and/or gas are substantially more expensive (on an absolute basis and/or relative to the local standard-of-living).
- masklinn 14y agoFWIW the vast majority of the non-american citizens did not have mass transit on Google Maps either.
