Thanks to a clear and defined strategy, the car number has decreased by 34% since 2017, and the number of cyclists has increased by 70%. In a city where the transit is really excellent.
These are the results that you get when you build quality infrastructure, as already seen in Paris

Why on earth is there no bar for subways or trains in general in the graph? Surely that’s also a significant percentage, and would probably shrink the car percentage quite a bit. Cause if that portion of people “moving around” isn’t even counted, that seems like more than just a slight oversight…
Subways and trains aren’t traffic. The study was specifically looking at traffic and how they should adjust the roads
