Public transport could be better, and due to a tight budget many people who weren't properly served by public transport switched to motorcycles.

Vehicle size is in proportion to wealth and local energy costs.
We expect Brazil to have smaller vehicles due to lower average wealth. In Africa, most people get around with their Chevrolegs.
Public transport is always a joke, because it's inefficient due to being a government project, and inefficient because transporting people from where they don't live, to not quite where they need to be, is inefficient.
