I know I saw a very similar thing using the same data when I was in graduate school for city and regional planning (forget the site now). A lot of us used the site for our projects and papers and just for pure fun. I could probably spend hours going through the site comparing cities and different modes of transport&#8230; if I had the time.<\/p>\n<p>Have some fun with it.
