I lived in Singapore without a car, there is no need to own a car. I used public transport and ride sharing without ever feeling that having a car would have improved my experience. In Hong Kong it was the same, and I lived in the Northern Territories, however in Sydney we had a car even though public transport was great, because its a big fucking country. Now in Penang, Malaysia there is no usable public transport, so a car is absolutely essential.
20-25 km to buy groceries means there should be public transport available to get you there. Or it means that your villages and cities are shittily built to not have neccessities within walking distance.
And in the countries where there is no such public transport, they still shouldn’t implement such a law until they get their public transport in order.
Has nothing to do with shittily built, public transport for 5 people that’s available around the clock isn’t something that’s even remotely feasible, nor is it economical.
Apart from that, of you think like that, you’re part of the problem. Where do you think the groceries will come from in the future? From farmers that go about with public transport?
I’m disabled and live among farms with no immediate public transport… I don’t think other countries should try this. If I couldn’t afford a car, I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere.
this is a good thing, other countries should do it too
Other countries like Singapore, sure. Countries where you’ve got to go 20-25 km just to buy basic groceries, fuck no.
