Interesting to see that this approach of vandalism is working. It's a shame people aren't physically strong enough to throw cars into rivers and from rooftops. Perhaps then Paris could be rid of its car problem.
- gt_ 9y agoAre you really suggesting Paris might be short on bicycles now?
- jpl56 9y ago(Parisian writing) Yes! We used to have plenty of Velib installations everywhere in the city and its suburbs. Now we have to wait for the new operator to have their system work. Even when the station is finished and has bikes on it, they aren't always usable.
- davidzweig 9y agoYes, that's a nice idea. No cars in the city. Pedestrianise half the streets. Plant some trees. Double the number of busses (electric? China has lots). Allow delivery vehicles between certain hours. I think it'd be great.. much less traffic noise, easier to cycle, more public spaces. Maybe it'd be like the photos of Eastern Europe in the 70s/80s, with wide empty streets. I enjoy my car, but not in the city, and when most people in a city drive, it must be a net loss.
