The whole article and the report, nowhere is it explained how they get their numbers. What fuel prices or electricity prices have they used, what mileage for the cars. It's kind of crucial info, and not really difficult to calculate either.

Yeah because the article is absolute bullshit. The bias was immediately evident.

It's provocative. It gets the people going.

Is this your first day on social media? People post 1 + 1 = 3 and get a ton of angry corrections.

I think thats a little simple to say that it's only posted because it provocative. Cultural opinions shape policy and the future of public transport is important.

Because I saw the article on my newsfeed and clicked to see what it was about. I risked the impression I editorialized the headline by adding the “Research firm claims” but thought it might help readers here make up their own mind.

I think it's good to read and criticise the materials that "opponents" read.
