When maths really counts

71 bus Sherwood Rise to Victoria Centre 8:30am

Set up

Of the 34 people on this bus 12 are non-white. Of the 26 cars that overtook this bus on my 14-minute journey 23 were single occupancy, only 2 were non-white drivers. 30.8 % of my neighbourhood is non-white. Yet 35.2% of the bus passengers are non-white and 8.6% of car commuters who overtook the bus are non-white.

Conclusion

Either: Non-white commuters are more environmentally aware and are acting to save the planet

Or: Non-white commuters are predominately working in jobs that do not come with the perk of a city centre parking space

Either way I thought that this was interesting.
