United States Commute Patterns for Major Cities. Source: Arturo Ramos, Wikipedia Commons
Someday, we may launch an index that attempts to describe how shareable your city is. How many CSAs? How much free wifi? How "smart" is the power grid? How many miles of bike lanes? And so on.
One of the key questions the index would have to answer: How many people share transportation to work? This graph answers that question--and it's instructive to compare it to "Dangerous By Design," which ranks pedestrian safety in 360 cities.
Copenhagen, Odense and Malmo have "green waves" for cyclists meaning that traffic signals give cyclists in the rush direction going 12 mph green lights all the way through to/from work and education.
All these towns have more metres of exclusive bicycle lanes than inhabitants.
Copenhagen is planning for bike motorways - i.e. reducing crossing car traffic by building bridges and tunnels.
Public transport is also about social rights and opening job markets here - by replacing busses with trams it becomes more viable for house wifes to break out of their role and claim a job.
Sharing and redistributing is however done by public institutions to an even higher extent than in the US - and not by common people.
