Phnom Penh (FN), May 10 – In the US and Canada, people heavily rely on cars to get around, no matter the size of the city. There are a few exceptions of course, such as New York, Toronto, and smaller college towns across the US.
As a result, North America’s share of public transport and active mobility (walking and biking) is the lowest amongst all surveyed regions by a significant amount.
On the other hand, public transport reigns supreme in South and Central America as well as Southern and Eastern Asia. It ties with cars in Southeastern Asia, and is eclipsed by cars in Western Asia.
Europe sees more city-level differences in transport popularity. For example, Utrecht, Netherlands prefers walking and biking. People in Paris and London like using their extensive transit systems. In Manchester and Rome, roughly two out of three journeys are by car.
