      I live in the countryside and flapping my arms does nothing. I need a car for the occasions when I don’t walk.

        Just use the bus, it comes twice in the morning so you are either an hour early or hour late from work, and leaves half an hour before your day ends and then once more at midnight.
        Convenient!

          Not really, I walk to work. But that inconvenience sure does sound appealing!

          I don’t know man, I live in a somewhat rural area and just take my ebike to work when i have to. Most of the time i work from home though. I’d gladly see the German car industry die to make way for more efficient cars from Japan or France for example. German car manufacturers have completely forgotten where they came from and are just selling overpriced luxury cars that are unreliable as fuck.

        Once there are no more cars, all other transport will improve. People still need to go everywhere and there will be more buses, more bike lanes, more trams and trains etc…

      Yeah, once there’s sufficient public transport in rural areas. Which there isn’t. So no, we still need cars.
