> And I'm also surprised at the two places I thought would have more public transport usage. Really, only 30% of NYC?

Taxis don't count as "public transport" here.

I think the less ambiguous name is "collective transport". Taxis are public transport almost everywhere.

There is also the term "mass transit" that excludes taxis exactly because they don't help solving the congestion and pollution problems.

"collective transport" is a great name for it. Has the same root as collective farming and similar problems to that enterprise.
