We have many small cities with nothing between them, very little intercity rail services, and an easy source of cheap second hand cars. I’m surprised we are first but I would have put money on top 10.
Even if you never traveled between cities the public transportation is dismal.
I’d say it’s very similar in Poland. A lot of small cities and villages, barely connected by roads and with little to no rails. Public transport is good but only in big cities. In those smaller ones, you’re lucky if there’s more than on bus per line per hour.
This is my firsthand experience, as I’m from one of those. 15 years ago there was a bus every 15-20 minutes. Nowadays there’s one per hour, sometimes less.
TIL that NZ has the highest car ownership in the world.
Well that’s depressing
I’m honestly surprised that the US is in second, off the top of my head I only know one person that doesn’t own a car but her boyfriend has one that they share.
Probably NY,NY dragging the USA down as usual. /s
Latest data usa is first. We’re still second though, so not great
I misread the title and came in thinking it was about cats. I think we have a high proportion of those as well.
Solved it. Cats cause cars.
Same, was very surprised. Also there are almost zero to no cats in New Zealand, they are extremely protective of their native bird species.
Sorry to burst your bubble but New Zealand has one of the highest per capita rates of cat ownership in the world.
Also, only 6% of New Zealanders keep their cats inside and 30% of them are opposed to keeping cats inside.
Ironic because cars cause less cats
Me too! Was wondering when the cats would show up
A win is a win. Embrace it.
Aaaaaaand, we’re still first on Everest.
Something that brings that average up, in my view, is the number of classic cars we have on the road. These are vehicles that don’t do a lot of driving, but are technically in use.
There’s also a lot of people, especially trades, that have company vehicles that they can’t use for personal use, so they also have their own vehicle.
Why would we have more classic cars than other countries though?
Because we’re awesome.
Just realized your username is about cars!
It’s a doctor strangelove reference.
Good movie, but still. I want it to be about either cars or a type of diving off wharves.
Sorry, nuclear annihilation.
'cos we’re amazing.
