Portland's pretty good about this. The whole city is laid out in a pretty uniform grid, and the busses and trains come frequently and cover a really wide area. Getting around the city is a piece of cake, and the transit pass works the exact same regardless of which vehicle type you ride. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close!

Best we can do is make everything more gas dependent by canceling windmill projects.

my dads idea: Ban cars inside cities have giant parking houses around the cities public transport - free - that comes by every 5-10 minutes

I want a teleportation device that either gets me to my destination instantly or deletes me from existence.

While I agree in principle with the OP, I feel I must point out that that wouldn't completely make cars unnecessary. There are still remote or sparsely populated areas (a lot actually in my country) where comprehensive public transport is impractical or next to impossible. I'd say we have use for both. Especially so if self driving means being able to summon a car when you need one without needing to own one. Or would that actually count as public transport then...?

Don't say "cars as default", say "built around people, not cars"

Saw this yesterday, instead of Atlanta building a new airport that could take away Delta's dominance, the CEO suggests vertibirds for shuttling people to the airport. This totally ignores the fact that the public transit MARTA goes directly to the airport

You’re not thinking car-first. You need neuralink to fix that. /s

I think self driving cars will help tbh. Only way it will happen. Less parking. Solves last mile problem.

Ok, it's great to dream. In your dream are cars just completely gone? If so that's a pretty extreme stretch of a dream. If you are going to have any cars why wouldn't you want them to be self driving?

Idk what the other dude is talking about. It definitely exists some places. Source: live in Copenhagen, don't own a car.

Yes. Barcelona resident here. I pay 22€ for an unlimited month transit pass (that’s a discounted price that will probably go up). I can ride any underground, bus or commuter train inside the metropolitan area. I own a car to go outside the urban zone but I barely use it. When I have to use my car in town (because I’m going to buy something that cannot be carried easily otherwise) I recall how much driving in the city sucks. I’m actually thinking about sellling my car and using a rental service if I want to take a road trip.

Things exist only theoretically if they're outside the only real country, the US.

@Wander@sh.itjust.works 2026-01-13 05:49
No. Not really. Cars are very common and walkable cities have been largely accommodated for the car.
