Alternatives to transportation by car in general should see a revival, it is quite sad that the state of public transport in the 1920's was generally quite a bit better than it is today. For example Berlin used to have one of the largest tram line systems, that also had freight trams. Early industrial cities in general tend to have a much better transportation system until today. As long as the lower classes were not able to buy a car, it was actually in the interest of industrialists to pressure for investments in public infrastructure, so their workers had an efficient commute.
Now that the car industry plays a less significant role in some of the (post) industrial countries maybe there is hope to boost other forms of transportation.
