Ah, so this means that areas of equal density without much transit spending
have lower congestion. Examples please?

That is a prime reason transit became obsolete and continues to die as an
outdated technology. That is just a straight engineering analysis of the
problem and why cars took over and why they will remain dominant for the
rest of our lives.


What about the engineering problem that it's not possible to fit enough cars
on the roads - especially if you also want them to be able to move - to
accommodate as many people as transit carries in dense cities?

Ah, I see you don't know (or don't believe) the True Gospel of ITS, which will
magically solve the automobile density problem and eliminate congestion. Heathen!
