Public transport usage percentage- vanilla

[casual gamer]

I'm close to filling my first 9 tile vanilla game city and I'm wondering what percentage of my population should be using public transportation.

100% or you're an unethical and bad mayor.

yeah, lower the better. zero percent would be optimal, but highly unlikely.

Thanks for the help.

I try to aim for 20% travelling via public transport, this seems to lighten the load enough on the roads to ensure free-flowing traffic. However, I have noticed that the larger my city got (above 100-150k), the more difficult it was to maintain that level - I often find myself running at 10-15% on public transport in the end (though I play on 25 tiles so there's a lot more land to provide access to).

Taking into account that the active cims are 65k, calculate that you will have betweent 5% and 10%
If it is calculated on total population, it is about 2%-3%.
