       “Electric cars are still cars. The focus on electric cars stands in the way of truly transformative change: better public transit and better laid-out cities that encourage active modes of getting around, such as cycling.”Fewer (& smaller) cars, less driving, more choices, better cities.#cities #urbanism #cars #EVs #bikes #transithttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/article-electric-cars-emissions-climate-change/

       @BrentToderian What do you think about the other extreme, proposed futuristic zero car cities like Saudi Arabia's:...who knows if foundations starting constructions actually translates through all stages to finished use...The Line neo city?170km long 200m wide 500m tall and end to end rail travel in 20mins, no cars.Just from an urban planning perspective?(Lots of other separate topics around The Line eg AI surveillance, Saudi rights records, natural ecosystem/indigenous dwellers etc)

       @BrentToderian Meanwhile in London:https://road.cc/content/news/bikes-most-popular-transport-mode-city-roads-299693When it becomes harder to use cars, people will change. Even when I lived in London (early 90s) driving was miserable. It once took me 2 hours to drive 8 miles  (roughly 13km). The tube system there was considered more effective - it still took my wife nearly two hours to get to work, and yet that was better than driving.
