How much space do 72 commuters need?

[Kell]

Bus, bike and cars.



Why anyone drives to work in town amazes me.

[Mr MXT]

Because its convenient.

[MiseryStreak]

To be fair, those cars would be making much better progress if all the stupid pedestrians got out of the road.

Oh hang on, those are the people commuting by tube?

The first picture also over estimates the amount of road space required by the cyclists as they have forgotten to account for the percentage of bikes using the pavement instead

If you can tell me how to carry 2 tool boxes, 2 drills and about £5000 worth of materials on a bike, I'll happily cycle to work.

That's fine if all 72 traveled from and to the same place. If they came from different places or went to different places then you need to add a few more buses onto that picture. Or maybe some trains?

My God, you're going need some quads to get that fker up a 10% gradient.

Or a 34-40 bottom gear

Or maybe do something revolutionary and, say...use their feet? A bit radical I know, but it just might work.

I *so* want one of those. I don't even have a reason - just a Bullitt-Bike-shaped hole in my life.

Edited for Bullitt spelling.

I've always referred to Southport as "Town", but daughter's boyfriend uses the same term for Liverpool.

I've always thought of London, as "HELL"

I went for an interview for a contracting job in Hemel Hempstead this morning, and had to admit that I haven't been that far South for 12 years.
