Society benefits from switching to motorcycles

[andrei]

Interesting study from Belgium

http://www.tmleuven.be/project/motorcyclesandcommuting/home.htm

 

Citing:

"When 10% of all private cars are replaced by motorcycles, total time losses for all vehicles decrease by 40%."

 

"When the case study results are extrapolated to the entire highway network in Belgium, total time savings for all vehicles would add up to 15.000 hours, which is equivalent with benefits of € 350.000 per day."

Very good Study..But they don't talk about the more number of accidents that can be caused by adding on more motorbikes on road...the risk of accidents are much higher on bikes..that does not mean cars are safer

 

I prefer bikes because of the ease of riding and faster commuting
