The person on the left is carrying bags, the one in orange is a delivery driver and a couple of people are wearing backpacks. Aside from car brained, Damaris is also blind.

    I’d gladly remove every car from the roads that is not carrying a sofa, table or desk.

      I’m even willing to add “large amounts of water & a big ladder, or sick/injured people” to that list.

    I’m all for way less cars on the road, but, what do all these people with some form of physical disability that limits their movement abilities? I rarely ever see this brought up in the debate, what form of independent travel can these people use in a carless society that won’t be impeded by their physical issues? Something that gives them the freedom to live their life and not rely on some form of ride sharing experience that takes their freedoms from them?

    We can’t leave people behind for a quick solution.

    Yea, car congestion isn’t about industrial transport, it’s about personal transport. All of the people commuting to/from work etc in single person occupied tanks.

    Don’t remember where I heard it first, but I always love to hear it.
