    But this isn’t about speed, it is about space efficiency. The whole point is even taking speed into account, cars waste so much space per person that it takes them 2-8 times as long to make up for the space they take as any other mode of transportation.

    I would also like to see parking lots shown for space visually at a location needed extra for those types of transport because that also is a problem.

    If you’re worried about speed that’s not so much a visual, as an entire study on travel in a metropolitan area, including stuff like walking to metro, boarding/unboarding, walking to final location, heating up car in the winter, finding and paying for parking, traffic patterns, etc.

      That’s a completely valid point, with less cars there would be a lot more space with the lesser need of parking lots
