I'm only somewhat familiar with how the Dutch people rose up in the 1970's and forced a change that seems unthinkable now in most automobile centric countries.

  Holland is now more addicted to cars than most EU countries. Doesn't have to be that way because it's an ideal country for excellent public transport. But cars have been a status symbol there for decades. The 70s were really a very different time. From a predominantly socialist country to one of the most neoliberal ones in Europe (after the UK). Of course it's been half a century since the 70s, too.
