There's some artistic liberties taken but neither are the bike lanes or passenger cars that narrow.

The bike lane doesn't have a car parked in it, also...

You're morally obligated to smash mirrors on cars parked on bike lanes

The artistic liberties contradict the point it's supposed to make.

Cars aren't that small, and buses aren't that uncomfortable.

Well, if we use the car to scale - the bike should be 1 seat wide, the bus stop should be 2 seats wide, and the bus itself should be 5 seats wide

Someone with photoshop skills needs to fix this

It's fine, even in it's current form it still manages to drive in the point

somewhat disingenuously though - my initial take away was that a car took up as much space as a bus and bike combined, and it was only later that I realised it was talking about more efficient or cleaner ways to transport people
