Imagine a city without personal cars in its inner limits. Residents who decide to own a personal car can park it in a Park&Ride which also includes unlimited transit access for the duration of the parking.
Deliveries, you say? Those aren't personal cars, but I'll comply. Businesses will be able to drive in the cities, within the permitted times/routes.
Emergency vehicles? Those aren't personal cars, either. They're also allowed.
- pjmlp 1y agoI live in Germany, and don't need any lessons in Park and Ride. What I need is a transport infrastructure that cares about people that live outside city central area. Maybe it will blow your mind that with P+R some of us take about 2h to come to work, versus 45m with a car. Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy? P+R isn't even a known concept.
- randunel 1y agoShow me a city which banned personal cars and we'll check whether P+R transit to anywhere within is 2h. You can't, because there is no such city. It's personal cars that slow down transit, including preventing new rails being built to not dismay cherished drivers.
- pjmlp 1y agoPity that such miracle cities don't exist for people living in the suburbs, with their 4x connections on average, from door to door.
- randunel 1y agoIndeed, such a city would prove you lot wrong.
- pjmlp 1y agoGlad to be proven wrong for the lucky folks living in the suburbs of such marvellous city without being second class citizens, pity that you didn't provide such example, while being so eager to talk others down. Maybe because there isn't such El Dorado.
- randunel 1y agoI already said as much. Here's the quote from above: > You can't, because there is no such city.
