There’s always going to be something that is hard or unreachable by public transport. The key here is multi-modality: you reach the edge of the city by public transport and then switch to car sharing.
- rootusrootus 6y ago> then switch to car sharing This presumes the existence of cars, which is exactly what is ostensibly to be eliminated in the public transit strategy.
- legulere 6y agoI am a pretty strong car-hater my self and I can only speak for myself, but I think that nobody wants to ban cars everywhere. There are lots of places though that would be much better with no or minimal cars.
- _carbyau_ 6y agoI agree with this. If you have self driving cars in particular then this is a quite likely one part of the solution. I still fantasize about sitting in a standardised car-cabin-like box IE seats(maybe facing each other), aircon, windows, media. And having it shuttled around like a packet on the network. Automated trains, trams, trucks, cars, drones even - all working in harmony to get you where you want to go. That way I'd own my space. But all the moving parts can be communal and benefit from best engineering practice for efficiency at economies of scale.
