@straphanger I have always gravitated toward car-free spaces and life, got my car license much later than most, and only began driving regularly once I had a child and began living somewhere not accessible by public transport. I have never driven a car to commute on a daily basis and never plan to. My favourite places to holiday are walking only, especially festivals and tropical islands.
But I admit to loving the freedom to travel. I hope we manage to turn the corner with carbon emissions, and still allow travel, as it has always been one of my great joys. I have ridden #ebikes for over 15 years, and now have an #EV, and yet hope we continue to transition away from cars as our primary transport. I would love some kind of modular system that would allow us to travel using some kind of PT mix, but carry more stuff with us. I have an EV minivan because it's so damn useful, and I can combine trips rather than always need things delivered - and that problem isn't going away, it's not just about moving people: it's also about moving stuff.
@kudra @straphanger I haven't driven a car to work for a very long time. I took ferries, trains, buses and my scooters for years and it worked well. Now I work from home.
Yet, I have kids and they sure have stuff, and places they need to be with that stuff. I don't know how to get to a softball field 60 miles from home, at 7am on a Sunday morning, with all the gear needed to play without using a car.
