> The problem is that it will move teenagers out of bicycles, scooters, and public transport, thus making roads busier. These kids are not zipping around in bicycles or scooters. They are either being driven around by their parents or Uber/taxi drivers in their 2-ton 6-seaters or being zipped around in taxis. These modes of transportation are not a panacea but nothing is, and mindlessly parroting "use bicycles!" does absolutely nothing to address the problem. I'm pretty sure people already know that bicycles exist for a couple of centuries now but somehow they choose not to use them in spite of the colossal cost of purchasing and maintaining a motorized vehicle. These vehicles pollute less, have a smaller footprint, are safer, are hard to steal, and are affordable. More importantly, they are real, exist today, don't require retrofitting the current system nor do they require legislation changes. Sounds like an improvement.
