It sounds like you are agreeing with me that you don't want people to own their own cars? I suppose we should all just do as the millenials do: rent cars by the mile (Uber) at ridiculously expensive rates.
- matchbok 7y agoFor most people in cities using ride-share/taxi is much cheaper than owning car. What I pay for rides a month is just a monthly parking pass.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoEven when I briefly worked in London in the 90s there was no point having the car. I am truly puzzled so many locals bothered. Uber or cab should only need to be occasional - there is great, albeit crowded public transport. It was entirely counter-productive, slower than cycling, expensive and just about zero chance of convenient parking. After one or two attempts, I left it at home and took the train down each week.
- rubyboss 7y agoI take public transport or cycle to work every day as I work in the City and it's faster and more convenient. People should be inspired to take public transport instead of driving because it's better and faster to do so, not restricted by levying giant taxes and blocking roads.
- freeone3000 7y agoThese are comparative measures - you can make public transit better and faster by making driving expensive and worse, even if public transit doesn't improve.
