The average car carries 4 people 60/4 is 12 there should only be twelve cars.
Also you would have to take into account the speed of travel as the amount of times a space is occupied actually increases the amount of space needed for the object traveling.
As speed increases the space occupied decreases as the space that was previously occupied is made available for other objects sooner.
So where-as in a static image like this the proper amount of twelve cars would even still take up more space than the other two in application and use it takes up far less.
Because of faster travel time twelve cars put out far less pollution then one bus as well as bikes.
With the bikes since the fuel is your energy any pollutants created in the process of making, and growing your food, as well as your drinks (bottle production, chemical treatments, etc…)have to be included. That also includes waste disposal (recycling anything non-metal is actually worse for the environment because of the chemicals and processes used)and any toxins introduced through it (even if just thrown away).
In other words this poster is very misleading and it’s points run counter to the goals of the person who made it. as well as being heavily deceitful by allowing the bus to be to capacity but not the cars.
