Tokyo area also has: - 48 operators - 2,210 stations (a bit high, bc stations are counted again for each operator) - 40 million daily trips (same disclaimer) - 14.6 billion annual trips (etc) ...and that still only accounts for 30% of travel in the region!https://twitter.com/devonzuegel/status/979790266906234880 …

The best info I can find so far is at the state level rather than the metropolitan level: the Massachusetts Travel Survey (2011) - 49.6% car (driving) - 19% walking - 18.9% car (passenger) - 4% train - 3.6% bus - 2.8% school bus - 1.1% bicycle - 0.4% taxi

a few more: - 0.3% paratransit - 0.3% "other" - 0.1% ferry - 0.1% motorbike (driver) - 0.0% motorbike (passenger)

It's cause that's what the census measures. Of course not shocking that a stat that's most useful to middle class abled-bodied men is emphasized, ignoring children, students, disabled, retired, stay a time home parents etc.
-
the *kind* of people who commute to work is diverse enough (and I'd be very surprised if it's mostly middle class) this measure is stupid more because it excludes many kinds of travel *made by the working population* than because it ignores travel by those who don't work
-
although yes, it's also stupid for ignoring travel by those who don't work

COMMUTES ARE CONSISTENT DATA AND IF U START LOOKING AT "WHO IS MAKING ALL THE UNNECESSARY EXTRA TRIPS" RESULTS WILL BE SEXIST

SMH I THOUGHT U WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF CONVENIENT, ACCESSIBLE AND EFFICIENT ROUTES. I TRUSTED U
-
I am in favor of them so that people can make more trips!

"UNNECESSARY" TRIPS TEND TO BE VIA CARS ONLY ANYWAY (IMMEDIATE DIRECT ROUTE GRATIFICATION), DAYTIME TRAFFIC HERE IS MOSTLY SINGLE-PASSENGER SUV'S MAKING ZIGZAG PATHS BETWEEN DECENTRALIZED STRIP MALLS SAVE US
