    The wording on that one makes me wonder. It says “own a car,” but I’m sure there are millions of people who own a car but don’t necessarily use it daily for work. Isn’t it fairly common in major cities to own a car and still take a train/bus to work because of traffic, using the car for things like weekend trips or errands? Idk if that’s enough to really swing of the stats, just that I wish they had phrased it differently.

    Edit: misread that. S’what I get for reading a Lemmy post before I put my glasses on, or even get out of bed to pee

      It’s “own car”, as in, not a ride share or taxi cab. They get to work in their own cars.

      It doesn’t say “own a car”, it says “own car”. As in, “How do you get to work?” “By my own car.”

      Read it again ,including the title, it says own car, not own a car, which means that they use it to commute. That said, it’s worded a bit poorly
