many (most?) other countries already pay that much, it’s very doable, and would encourage people to switch to more sustainable forms of transportation

- asynchronous 3y agoMan you’d be a popular politician
- tristan957 3y agoHow do I switch to a more sustainable form of transportation when the nearest bus route is over 2 miles away with no sidewalks or bike lanes? I live in a major tech city by the way.
- MattRix 3y agoswitch to an electric car? the design of cities would adapt over time as well
- tristan957 3y agoWhere do I get the money for an electric car? I drive a 20 year old ICE. Why would I give up an almost $0 insurance bill plus regular maintenance costs for an electric car which I would then have all of the above plus a monthly payment? My gas usage is not that high. I might go through 50 gallons a month at 16.75 miles to the gallon.
- nikonyrh 3y agoNot that high? I use about that much in a year. But I only use the car for hobbies and once-a-week heavy groceries, so I drive about 4000 km or 2500 miles in a year. The gasoline in Finland is about 9.8 USD/gallon at the moment :)
