Four bendy buses managed to enter a roundabout at the exact same time from four different directions in Oslo yesterday afternoon and get properly stuck, each bus blocking the exit for the one behind it. #BigBusStuck

@titia @beandev @trochee Ist actually the opposite: in less developed countries you see cars everywhere and only when societies become richer they are willing to invest in more sustainable and more comfortable modes of transportation. If you go to poorer countries in Eastern Europe or Northern America you will see cars everywhere because public transport is so under financed that most people won’t use it.

Eastern Europe is the center of a huge market for used cars. I don't know what the situation is like in North America, but in Eastern Europe there is a large influx of used cars from Western Europe. In addition, rural areas have always been sparsely populated (probably similar to North America) and private mobility is easier for people to use than relying on public transportation.
