> Here in Romania, THE CARS litter the urban spaces. Cars are indeed a cancer on all urban spaces, and one which has been granted too much privileges for decades. The Netherlands' Jokinen Plan[1] is widely used as the epitome of idiocy that we get by designing cities around cars. But the fact is that services provided by multinationals like Lime do nothing to address this issue. People do not drop their cars for ebikes just because a multinational dropped one on the sidewalk. Also, it's a red herring to portray services provided by multinationals like Lime as synonyms for replacing cars with alternatives. They do nothing of the sort, and it misrepresents the problem. Companies like Lime scatter crap around cities with impunity and expect the public to just suck it up. Any small business owner who did a fraction of the abusive practices of occupying the public space would be fined into bankruptcy.
