As someone who once HAD to commute for a 45 minute car ride to work… not all commutes work with this. Public transit can help with a lot of those, but unless we rezone and rebuild most cites for shorter commutes, it won’t replace all cars.
The Dutch drive, too, they just tend to cycle for shorter trips. No one serious is seriously saying ‘replace all cars’ as a solution for the foreseeable future
I am totally for more cycling… but imo from a policy perspective in most cities we just need more public transit and maybe some more bike lanes in areas they could help.
This is right. I desperately want to cycle places and take public transit, but in Los Angeles, things have been built with such distances that this often means 2+ hour trips if not done by car. Cities need to rezone and re-prioritize for better public transit in a lot of areas to reach this vision.
