That's a completely valid point, with less cars there would be a lot more space with the lesser need of parking lots

This graphic does not need pedestrians or bikes. They aren't competitive with vehicles of any kind when you start talking about multimile distances.
A more realistic simulation would be including the loading time for each vehicle type (car/bus/train) for a 5, 10, and 20 mile distance. That way you see how these vehicles are actually used rather than a shitty first past the post "race". Removing the loading/unloading times of each vehicle wildly skews it in mass transport's favor.
It would also be interesting to include usage costs associated with each mile range. I figure a bus pass for a 20 mile trip is a lot cheaper than loan payments, gas, and maintenance for a single passenger car ride.
Wow! That was some hang time
Makes sense to me, the last time I did a long bike ride was over a decade ago. With my lack of cardio even a handful of miles sounds daunting.
