    The maybe use public transport? If you REALLY need to use buy car - buy one.

    Also: families were not mentioned before in this thread. Is driving around with your partner and 5 kids and a couch a daily occasion?

      Lol, come here and use our public transport options before you speak. This entire thread is led by those laying wide-reaching proclamations while being unable to consider any situation other than their own.

            Okay, then advocating for better urban planning and less urban sprawl. Unless you live in a rural area, you shouldn’t be required to go into debt to pay for a multi ton machine to be able to buy food. It’s odd that only in the last hundred years humans have stopped being able to function day to day without vehicles.

              You all talk a big game, but I’ve been to about 20 countries so far in my life. Distributed all over the world. They ALL have traffic led by cars. I guess I haven’t been to Mumbai…

              Your assumptions are wrong, and you live in fantasy. Get over it.

                I’m not sure what your point is? I never said cars weren’t leading traffic. I think we’ve both kind of lost the plot here but my point was that cars aren’t a requirement to live. If they are in your city or area (outside of rural), then you should advocate for better transit and urban design.

                Also note that I never said cars should be outright banned or anything of that sort

                  My point is the point I made up in my first post, which was to argue against the idiotic point that everyone could just use motorbikes, to which you continued to argue with. Here, in case you forgot:

                  People don’t even need car tbh. Motorbikes everywhere please. Zip zip, less traffic, everyone pays attention to road or falls and dies.
