I saw a video on Peachtree City several years ago and it really stuck in my head. Golf cart roads, like protected bike lanes, are really a “build it and they will come” project. The infrastructure has to reach a certain level of completeness before it will see mass adoption.
If I could take a golf cart on the roads safely, and there was a golf cart parking lot at a nearby rental car place for occasional longer trips, I’d give up my car in a heartbeat.
- lazide 2y agoEh, sounds good until you try it. I tried going without a car once (in the US), and it turned into a much bigger problem because the times you’d most like to use the car (holidays, vacation times if you’re going on a trip) also tend to be when other people want to do the same thing, and it’s very difficult to get the rental you want. Also, there were a couple times I showed up to pick up what I’d reserved, and all the sudden it wasn’t available - and that completely screwed me over. And that isn’t even counting emergencies.
- al_borland 2y agoThese are all very good points.
