@Bertie ... "single-user" means exactly that, a vehicle that contains one human being. I am well aware of the capacity of vehicles, but single-occupancy is far and away more common on the roads.

The average occupancy of private automobiles (passenger cars and light trucks) is about 1.6. It's probably higher for vehicles owned by low-income households.

Putting more of them on the road is not wise in that roads are at and above capacity already.

No, some roads are at capacity some of the time. I have no idea why you think this means that putting more vehicles on the road is "not wise." By that bizarre argument, increasing transit ridership would also be unwise, since some buses and trains are sometimes at capacity.
