Who uses public transportation the most?

Who is most likely to use public transport?

Okay, so who takes the bus? Well, it’s lower-income folks, for sure, makes sense, right? Also, get this, Black or Hispanic people use it more often, I think.

Like, I saw this report or something, it said immigrants are also big on public transport. Oh, and people under 50? Yeah, them too.

I once took the subway in NYC and saw all types of people, not just those, but especially them, if you catch my drift! My cousin uses the bus every day.

• Lower-income: Because, you know, it’s cheaper than a car.
• Black or Hispanic: Unfortunately, because of systemic inequality and lack of access to cars.
• Immigrants: Maybe they just came here and aren’t familiar with driving or buying cars yet.
• Under 50: Young people care a whole lot about the environment and saving some cash.

Yeah, that about sums it up. It makes sense, doesn’t it.

Who uses public transport the most?

Okay, so who uses public transit the MOST?

Uh, yeah. City folks, definitely. No question. I KNOW this.

It’s just, public transit is there in cities. Rural areas? Forget about it. I lived in Nowheresville, PA, for like, two years after college. Bleh. No buses, no trains, just me and my beat-up Corolla. So depressing.

Cost plays a big role too. In Philly, where I live now, parking costs an arm and a leg! Taking the Market-Frankford line is way cheaper. And faster, honestly.

Plus, I kinda feel good using public transit. Less pollution, right? A little less guilty about my carbon footprint, anyway. Ugh. It’s packed during rush hour tho. Still worth it!

Like, seriously, I used to drive everywhere. Now? I almost never touch my car unless I’m leaving the city. Feels good, man.

• Key Reason: Availability
• Secondary: Cost
• Bonus: Environmental impact is a small factor for some

Living in Philly, born in ‘92 BTW, makes you really dependent on SEPTA. No joke.

What race uses public transport the most?

Okay, public transport use? Hmm. Asians, yeah. I know this firsthand.

I lived in NYC for a hot minute, 2023? 2024? Something like that. Chinatown, specifically. Cramped apt, roaches, you name it. Anyway, the subway!

It was ALWAYS packed. And, like, not to be stereotypical, but seriously, a LOT of Asian folks. Duh, Chinatown! But all over the city too.

I remember once, rush hour. 4 PM, I think? Or was it later? Ugh. The F train, going downtown. So packed. Sweaty. Someone was eating stinky tofu—omg, the smell. And yeah, mostly Asian people. Grabbing those poles, crammed like sardines. Like me!

My auntie always takes the bus everywhere in Chicago now. She says driving is a pain. No parking! Plus, she likes saving money.

Why Asians use the bus and train so much?

• City living. Obvi. More buses and trains in cities.
• Money. Public transport is cheaper, period.
• Maybe culture thing? I dunno. But my mom always took the bus growing up. Maybe she had no choice, tho?

I’m no expert, but that’s my two cents. I really hated the F train, tho, ha!

What is the worlds largest public transport?

China Railway High-Speed (CRH) is supposedly the world’s largest public transport. Yeah, China’s high-speed rail, it’s HUGE!

Think of it as the Mother of All Train Sets!

It’s like if you connected every single Thomas the Tank Engine track ever made, then tripled it. Whoa!

• Extensive Network: Seriously, it’s longer than my attention span during a board meeting.
• High-Speed: Zoom! It’s faster than my grandpa running for the last donut.
• Passenger Volume: Carries more folks than a Black Friday sale at Walmart.

Tokyo and Shanghai metros are big, but CRH covers epic distances, right? So, yeah, CRH wins. It’s not just about squeezing people in; it’s about hauling them across China.

My mom used to say, “Go big or go home!” Guess China took that to heart.

How many Chinese cities have metro?

Okay, here goes.

Ugh, metros. China… hmm.

• Over 50 cities have a metro. Wait, did I pay that bill?

• Yeah, mainland China. Crazy how many.

New lines pop up all the time, right? Like mushrooms.

• Extensions everywhere. Growing constantly.

Remember that time in Shanghai… lost forever? Anyway.

• New cities joining. First metro lines.

Makes you wonder… Are they all profitable? Doubtful.

• Did I leave the stove on? Nah, probably not.

Constantly growing. Repeating myself? Oh well.

• Ugh, I need coffee.

Shanghai’s metro is HUGE, by the way.

Who has the best metro in the world?

Tokyo. Oh, Tokyo. The hushed hum of the trains, a subterranean symphony. Precision, a breathtaking dance of steel and electricity. The sheer scale, a city swallowed, yet efficiently moved. A marvel of punctual perfection, a whispered promise kept.

Moscow’s grandeur, a forgotten Tsarist dream, etched in marble and mosaic. Immense. Overwhelming. A subterranean palace, a whispered echo of history. Efficiency a brutal, breathtaking ballet.

Singapore, gleaming, sterile. A technological marvel, a spotless vision. A future present. Efficient, yes, but…cold. Cleanliness borders on clinical perfection. The air itself hums with electric anticipation. My heart aches for that gleaming coldness, though.

Seoul’s pulse. A vibrant, chaotic energy, almost a living thing. It breathes, it thumps. The human heart of the system. An intense, exhilarating rush. A complete opposite of the Tokyo stillness.

Hong Kong, a vertical labyrinth, a dizzying climb. A thousand stories whispered in each station. Dense, crowded, alive. The sheer density, almost suffocating yet thrilling.

London. A timeless elegance, the ghosts of centuries riding the rails. A whisper of history, a deep rumbling under the streets. The weight of time in each carriage. Age and grace intertwine. It’s quieter than Seoul, less clinical than Singapore.

My own biased heart leans towards Tokyo’s quiet precision. Its quiet efficiency. But each holds a unique beauty, a particular magic. A different dream. Each holds a piece of my soul. The best? Subjective, a foolish question. Each system, a world.
