You have to get from the station to where you want to go. I’ve seen enough videos of Indian traffic to imagin that’s no fun without a ton of steel around you
It does when the traffic is so dense that you can’t get by even on foot, let alone on a bike. I’ve had the misfortune of spending 20 minutes marooned in the same spot in the middle of a traffic jam because I was boxed in with no space to pass anywhere.
We take “bumper to bumper” traffic quite literally in this neck of the woods.
There’s actually pretty decent public transit on my route, but I’d have to take a bus for half of it, which…well, see above.
“Traffic laws are more guidelines than rules”. Is basically the motto in any south Asian country. China also used to be bad but they are real heavy on the camera enforcement and will even ticket speeders by timing between cameras.
I mean that they’ll take a pictures potentially miles apart and calculate speed by the time between them rather than just speed at time of capture via radar or induction loop.
Thanks to the Mean Value Theorem , one can conclude that there was at least one moment in between the two camera shots where the car’s instantaneous speed was the same as its average speed.
Oh lol wrong interpretation of average. Yes, that’s what China uses. I know some western countries have implemented or considered them as well but for the most part at least in the US speed cameras are only at moment of capture (or slightly before if you want to be technical)

Traffic density doesn’t cause any problem, it is slow traffic anyway, especially last-mile localities. Maybe there are no local trains on his route.
The main concern with traffic density would be polluted air, which you’d breathe more of when cycling.

Yes, the name of that concept is average speed camera
