Wondering what European city that is just south of the "Dhaka" text.
It's a shame that the source didn't publish raw data
https://citiesmoving.com/visualizations/
I'm not sure if the question "How do you travel to work?" paints a complete picture.
I live in the Netherlands, and like many fellow countrymen I commute to work by car because it is the most convenient option. But other trips I make on a daily basis are usually either on foot or by bike, and if I go somewhere in the weekend I regularly take the train.
personally i didn't find the car to be the most convenient option, you have to look out for speed (lest you get fined), other drivers, need to find a parking spot, and so on... eh, I prefer public transit. Or going by foot. And on bike it's also easier to park somewhere.
But yeah, it doesn't exactly paint a whole picture because most people vary with how they travel.
Exactly what I was gonna point out. I travel my transit to work, but my wife uses the car just because it’s super convenient and closer. But on 50% of trips together we transit and 40% is car, and 10% is walking to our local breweries or bars.
I think this is only work data, which isn’t a great picture.
Reading through the paper, I think this is the raw data https://github.com/rafaelprietocuriel/ModalShare/blob/main/ModalShare.csv
Ugh I already have too many projects and too little free time but making that chart interactive sounds cool...
Turns out you can find interactive visualizations of the data here https://citiesmoving.com/visualizations/ 🎉
How about that sub-saharan city where 90% walk everywhere, also an outlier.
Venice?
~~My guess would be either London, Paris or Berlin~~
Edit: I think I misunderstood which data point you were referring to
