    Without North America the percentage goes all the way down to ~35.6%. That’s some heavy lifting.

      They did use a weighted mean (by people × distance travelled?), so the result without NA likely isn’t 35.6 %, but I agree with your statement. (The arithmetic mean of the “world” would be ~45.4 %)

        I suppose Mexico is included in “Central America”, the source doesn’t specify. Anyway, if anyone’s interested here’s the link to the source.

        US, Canada, Australia, Southern Africa, and New Zealand are just sad. They’re car hellscapes.

        In the West, Western Europe looks great.

        Love the Southern & Eastern Asia ones though.

      Well, I mean, why would you build a decent railroad network if you could also build another tower in KL?

        You mean another highway in KL, because we have plenty here for everyone, and people demanding more 💀
