yah i figured it. taking tons of time on blank maps lol.
all traffic works in two ways. distance, and time.
low time means heavy traffic, but distance is of course opposite and very expensive to build, and monthly maintain.
the only way to have both low traffic and long commuting, is to use multiple transit ways at once.
Distance - best to least
1) freeways, 500ish squares
2) train
3) monorail
4) avenues
5) subway
6) roads and streets and 1ways, 30 squares
7) walking on roads and streets, 3 squares
Time - best to least

busses use whatever time/distance setup you made for roads obvisouly.
but lots of low income residential love them.
the magic traffic fix, is to put parking garages touching all train/monorail/subway stations. even bus stations if your up for the money lol
because people will use multiple ways to travel.
drive car to train station, then at industrial end, they walk to the bus station to reach the ending bus station.
touching stations and parking garages speed this up tons. and kills lots of traffic,
driving cars is last resort if other transportation isnt working out for them
