Comment on Me when I zoom past traffic on my e-scooter
Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 days agoThe problem is that it does not remove cars in that city. People still need to get to work, and public transport is so bad, it is hardly an alternative.
The mayoress simply f-cks up car traffic, only marginally improves bike traffic, and public transport (busses) have been victims of cutting into car traffic, too.
Better make a big detour around that place.

Most people I know work within a distance they could easily cycle. All of them go to shops that could easily be cycled to. Yet they all drive pretty much every time.
It’s not so much about eliminating all cars, but discouraging their use for so much. Most people drive even if it’s less than a mile. My partner is often surprised at how quickly I can cycle to the shops and back, well yeah I didn’t have to wait in traffic of course it’s faster.

Back when I studied in that city, I did commute by bike, 20km each way, and was much faster than public transport. I am happy that I only have business there two or three times a year.
