Space Invaders (cars)

Nobody likes being stuck in traffic. But there's a simple solution.

In the 80s video game Space Invaders the invaders were from space. Today's space invaders are invaders of space.

Next time you're in traffic, try to count 50 cars in front of you. If you're on a 3-lane road try to count 17 cars in front.

In most situations it's further than you can see. But that's how much traffic could be removed with just one bus.

My local public transport agency gives out these stickers to illustrate the point.

Even though there's not even 50 cars on the picture, is still demonstrates how obvious the solution to traffic is.
