This study examines the future of personal transportation in megacities of the world, in particular, the future role of personal vehicles.
The study focussed on 15 existing megacities from around the globe, including New York, London, Moscow and Rio de Janeiro, and analysed them against:
- population,
- wealth,
- level of motorization,
- public transportation, and
- modal split.
Projections through to 2025 were made for each megacity for changes in ownership of personal vehicles; distance traveled by personal vehicle within the inner core, for commuting, and for leisure; and for number of road fatalities.
