Hi,

Depending on how well you know the city you can:

Split the city area into avg blocks
Segment blocks into highly / med / low traffic and make the assumptions about the # of cars per block (You can take peak hours)
Assume certain % of cars that are still in the garage during peak hours

Alternatively, you can try to estimate the garage and parking space

Hi Vlad, thank you for your reply. I think my question was seeking to estimate the number of cars not owned for personal use, which might include company cars, cars owned by taxi companies, etc
