I'm shocked its only 60% if I'm being honest.
It's advertising: they think they are "free" and really wanted to have a car
No? Forced means something is unwanted. My interpretation is that there is not enough public transport and they wish there was.
yes?
40% don't feel forced.
'they [the 40%] think they [the 40%] are “free” and really wanted to have a car'
Yeah, I would have guessed much higher.
Could possibly be that their population is almost entirely concentrated in a few cities where there is sufficient public transport infrastructure.
I doubt it. Canadian cities are not known for their transit. Plus in Ontario the premier made building bike lanes illegal.
Canadian transit inefficiency is why the famous urbanist channel NotJustBikes started his work and moved away from there.
Quick look says it's not much different from US urban population numbers, so that must not be it.
And they have the same 60% also.
Meanwhile, roughly 58% of car-owning adults express a strong interest in living car-free or are completely open to ditching their vehicles if viable infrastructure existed.
