      I don’t know, but if you think about it a bus only needs to carry like 3 people to be more space efficient than a typical car. Most busses probably carry more at least during peak hours based off of numbers from my butt.

      Interesting dynamic is that I think bus occupancy tends to scales up with demand, i.e. at rush hour. Car occupancy less so (i think).

      I don’t know the answer - but I expect occupancy at peak travel times is of most interest.

      I don’t really think averages are that useful though, the whole system context is important. These diagrams are just stupid memes.
