Reply to comment by wascilly_wabbit in Study reveals that although private automobiles continue to be the dominant travel mode in American cities, the share of car trips has slightly and steadily decreased since its peak in 2001. In contrast, the share of transit, non-motorized, and taxicab trips has steadily increased by giuliomagnifico
I'd be more interested in a study that showed whether car use or public transport construction had increased more.

>The discoveries plunged the operator into a crisis with repercussions for all of Europe. EDF called it an “annus horribilis,” and from early May to late October, about half of its 56 reactors sat idle due to the repair and maintenance backlog.

Seems like this was more of a design flaw or the application needed stronger materials. Pretty much the most inconvenient time for them to be down too.
