Plenty of evidence exists in 2022.
Book a flight to Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, Milano ,Casablanca, Tunis …
I don’t know Asia or South america but I’m sure you can find some example running in production right now.
- luckylion 4y agoI don't know about Paris, Barcelona etc, but Berlin has 1.4m private cars for 3.6m people living in roughly 2m households, clearly people aren't giving up their cars just because you can walk to the corner store.
- dopidopHN 4y agoUsing your car in Paris intra-muros is a beginner move. It’s just faster with public transportation or biking; or it’s so close that you walk there. Also: parking is a nightmare that will add 10 to 30 min to your travel time. ( or make it even more expensive) But your stats are great, I would be curious to find the same for Paris. To check my completely anecdotal assumption. Edit: - Paris 0,27 car / inhabitants - Amsterdam (0,24) - 0,33 : Bruxelles - 0.35 : Berlin - 0,36 : Madrid - 0,41 :Barcelona - 0.87 : Phœnix, AZ
