    Oh there’s always a genuine, non-sarcastic use for a car. I’m close enough to work to cycle without blinking, yet scheduling and family pressures / drop-offs/ pick-ups mean that it’s more time-sensible to drive.

    I hate it. I used to cycle every day to work.

    The other shitty thing in the equation is the public transport which functions at a generous 40% of what it might.

    I’d hate to wrap my soggy brain around solving the problem, but I wish someone would; more routes, more frequency, more funding. = fewer cars.

      Exactly… cars would not be that bad if they were used sparingly instead of making it a default.
