This is an interesting perspective.
Here in Sydney Australia most households will have a car or two, but most of the people I've ever worked with do not drive to or for work. Another large chunk of people will drive to get to a train station or bus stop, and then get public transport the rest of the way.
There are a lot of people who do drive for work, especially as you get to the edges of the city sprawl, but even then there are often viable public transport options. Those people tend to not work in the city centre or business parks I've worked in.
With working from home even less people are driving due to work.
- tekknik 3y agoWe’re talking about the US, not Australia.
- Cogito 3y agoThe post you responded to originally literally talks about congestion pricing ‘around the world’. Regardless, it’s not like everyone in the US has to drive for work, for the exact same reasons they don’t here. It’s still an interesting perspective for me because I know that in some places it must seem like everyone has to drive, but it’s not something that I would normally consider.
