Very cool looking graphs but omg I'm having a hard time reading them. I get that it's saying everybody in the US drives and people elsewhere walk and use public transit but... I can't wrap my brain around the figures

It is good as a visual representation of the global, but you basically have to read each side of the triangle individually to grasp it well. The middle of the triangle means a perfectly equal distribution and the vertices mean 100% of one of the three characteristics.
