Just to compare, this is the utopian dream for Toronto:
There are approx. 18 cars and trucks in that image.
They are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY more space, and are causing traffic.
Still, we keep saying, “give us more of this, please!”.
Insanity or stupidity?
Wish we had enough trains for that but we don’t ( let alone high speed ones). And let’s not pretend that the Netherlands doesn’t have 50% car ownership, so it’s not like people are always biking or taking trains.
we indeed have 50% car ownership, but thats usually just to go on vacations or when you want to take something with you that you can’t really take on a train. Yes, some people go by car, but everyone who can go by bike goes by bike.
