My city installed a few additional bike paths, and added some more buses, and the difference is huge.
I donât even need a car except when traveling longer distances.

Youâve got to invest in it before it gets good. Youâve got decades of car centric infrastructure inertia making cars the more convenient choice. All youâve got to do is invest just enough to make alternatives actually possible.
I donât know the challenges of your specific infrastructure, but there are certainly improvements that could be made

Indeed, I think somethingâs got to give if weâre to have any future worth living. Probably very many things should change. Iâm a bit of an misanthrope myself, so getting used to more communal arrangements is painful.
Would you be more likely to champion a less attractive option if it was part of a larger initiative to make a better world?
