“Giving people more viable alternatives to driving means more people will choose not to drive, so there will be fewer cars on the road, reducing traffic for drivers.”

Concise, easy to understand, and accurate. I have used it at least a dozen times and it is remarkable how well it works.

Also—

“A bus is about twice as long as a car so it only needs to have four to six passengers on board to be more efficient than two cars.”

    That’s the old way. There’s no real difference in pricing now until you move into the exurbs. For more and more people it’s better to pay a bit more and not have to commute while having easy access to the city’s amenities.

      A “bit” more? Have you seen rent levels in the last few decades?

        Rent must be incredibly affordable in the US from what I’m reading here.

      I live in Melbourne, Australia - and I couldn’t afford anything within an hours drive of the city.
