One interesting aspect is that while high fuel prices are very bad for poor countries, it could be that the hit is somewhat dampened by the fact that e.g. most people im Asia use fuel for transport in a much more efficient way than the US. If you share a bus ride with 100 other people and only need to travel 10 kilometers, this might eat less percents of your relative income than when you need to daily travel 100 miles alone in a supertruck.
Which is also a big advantage of Europe compared to the US.
Africa and Australia are included where?
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.
yeah this is like maps without New Zealnd but, erm.
Maps without half the Earth
World Avg. (Hopefully)
I don’t know I trust their definition of “world”
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.
The world average is always bad because of the same guys.
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.
