Vancouver’s sustainable transportation share was like 49% in 2019. Victoria and Montreal are similar. The rate falls as you go further into the suburbs, but that’s another problem.

oh really? I live near Victoria (in Nanaimo) and the public transit is absolutely fucking terrible.

I guess if rent prices are ever not insane again in my lifetime then I could move to a larger city in Canada.

Also for contrast, I found comparable government stats for (some) Canadian cities. I guess they follow the typical Canadian pattern of being completely shit compared to the rest of the world, except for the even-shittier USA: Vancouver: 22.5% Toronto: 20.6% Montreal: 16.4%

SE Virginia has a metro area of almost 2 million people who all drive to work as there is next to no public transit. There is a bus line and it is insanely unreliable, and that is it.

I’ve lived in multiple metro areas of hundreds of thousands of people with NO public transit.

I now live in Philly and this is the first time I’ve had the option of not using a car.

My 25 minute commute by car would be 3 hours on public transport, across 4 buses. American cities were expressly designed around the automobile, and are nearly impossible to navigate otherwise.
