Rural Europe is a disaster if you don't have a your own transport, as either there is no public transport, or it's atrocious (eg. 2 buses a week in some places).
- arp242 4y agoHence the usage of the word "minimal", or so I would imagine. Plus the only reason that's the case is because there's little demand for it. That is: people have cars. "Europe" is a big place with lots of differences so I can't generalize to the entire continent, which includes places I've never even been to, but quite a few places could almost entirely eliminate car ownership within a matter of years if they wanted. Whether that's desirable in the first place is something I'll leave for everyone to decide for themselves, but it really is just a question of "want" rather than "can".
- jwestbury 4y agoThe problem here is that "minimal" car ownership due to high prices does not mean car ownership concentrated amongst those who needs cars, necessarily.
