A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars.
It’s where the rich use public transportation.”— Enrique Peñalosa, Ex-Mayor of Bogotá
Rich and poor countries. A quick check: which large European cities have seen more downloads of their official public transport app on the iPhone than on Android? Only Berlin, Amsterdam and Vienna. Whatever the reason – it is possible, of course, that the iPhone app was launched much later than the Android app – many other cities don’t fare too well: in Milan we have almost twice as many downloads on Android; in Barcelona, twice as many; in Paris and Rome almost 7 times as many; in Dublin, 25 times as many.
