I mean the challenge was that “most people don't need a car”. I’m not saying don't ride a bike and reduce your car dependence… that’s awesome. I’m saying that cutting usage in half doesn't support the “most people don't need a car” angle. Most people still need a car.
- seadan83 3y agoI think that is a touchy angle. The statement is probably better as "most people shouldn't need a car" The touchy part is be ause the logic often goes, because 100% can't get off cars, the necessary infrastructure to allow the 20% who could, won't be built. It's like public transit, it sucks due to shoe string funding, ridership is low because it sucks, funding is then reduced because ridership is low.
- alistairSH 3y agoFine, most people don’t need a car for a significant number of the trips they make by car.
- midasuni 3y agoThere are about 1.1 billion passenger cars in the work and over 8 billion people. Thus most people don’t need a car. The requirement for “most people need a car” depends on the definition of most people. Live in a small town in Arizona? Sure you need a car. Live in TriBeCa? You don’t need a car.
