The United States needs fewer bus stops

That can't be the whole equation. Why do so many people in London choose to ride the bus and the tube instead of taking private cars?

Exactly.

The city heavily discourages car use for commuting.

Offices have no parking spaces.

Any parking you do find in central London will be paid at an extreme rate.

To drive into the city costs around $20 per day, increasing much further if you have an older, polluting vehicle.

There is so much congestion that it is usually faster to walk than drive.
