MODERATORS
yeah this is like maps without New Zealnd but, erm.
Africa would be generally interesting. Last time I visited (west africa), most transport was by foot, scooter taxis, or ridesharing/paid hitchiking on personal cars. Those don't really neatly fall in any of the categories in the infographic.
A large share of the world uses a high percentage of scooters, and small motorbikes and the like. From Italy to South Asia to South America.
World Avg. (Hopefully)
Do scooters/motorcycles count as cars? Because I would think some countries would be a lot higher if that was the case
Vietnam is like 90% scooters and they dominate transport in pretty much all the other countries there except for maybe Singapore. There's no way SE Asia as a whole is only 22% if scooters are included in cars. It's a weird omission.
What's wrong with Mexico?
Its skews the numbers probably?
All data points skew results. It's excluding data points that is generally bad, makes for cherry-picked results.
If the point is "USA and Canada bad with transit", (which I agree with btw), they should be individually present on the chart. Not some "North America" that is cherry-picked to meaninglessness.
The world average is always bad because of the same guys.
