Mass is mass. Space is space.
SUVs take up space, killing government's return on asset when building transportation infrastructure.
Energy still has to be produced to physically move 3t+ of mass around. And typically, SUVs only carry 1 person in traffic. So, that is 3t per person versus a bicycle, which is 0.020t per person.
- jleyank 4y agoLiving in Canada, an SUV is a useful vehicle in the 4-5 months it snows. Optimum would be to have a winter vs. non-winter vehicle, but that's expensive. And, most models of SUV are really station wagons with different sheet metal and larger tires - only a limited subset are built on a truck frame.
