An 18 lane freeway, 100 meters wide, moves less people than a busy subway line.
The Brooklyn bridge used to move 420,000 people per day.
In the 1950s, trolleys were removed, and since then it has never moved more than 180,000 people per day.
Cars 👏 destroy 👏 cities.
Info from @notjustbikes
@riastradh *I* got it from below video (I forgot to note the timecode, but it's well worth a watch anyway)
Perhaps @notjustbikes can chime in on where they got the number from.

The 420k-180k is mentioned in 31.20, but it's worth seeing the whole clip. It's very informative and debunking most if not all BS coming from venture capitalist and tech-bros.
Thanks for making and thanks for sharing.
