Wait what the fuck how are there big cities with less than 5%? Automobiles must be destroyed.
My city doesnt even have buses. Like, at all.
SE Virginia has a metro area of almost 2 million people who all drive to work as there is next to no public transit. There is a bus line and it is insanely unreliable, and that is it.
I've lived in multiple metro areas of hundreds of thousands of people with NO public transit.
I now live in Philly and this is the first time I've had the option of not using a car.
My 25 minute commute by car would be 3 hours on public transport, across 4 buses. American cities were expressly designed around the automobile, and are nearly impossible to navigate otherwise.
