Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Architecture / planejamento urbano
Portuguese term or phrase: rodas individual, rodas coletivo
O texto fala dos sistemas de mobilidade (rodas individual, rodas coletivo, cicloviário, de pedestres). Quais são os termos e como fica essa coisa de plural e singular?

private and public vehicles
Explanation:
Parece que a palavra "rodas" está sendo usada no sentido de "veículo", que faz um certo sentido, pois quase todos os veículos no ambiente urbano usam rodas. Mas nunca vi o termo usado assim...

A discordância do plural com o singular sugere que a palavra "rodas" é uma abreviação - de "veículos com rodas"?
