Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

      I don’t want to discuss it

      If you don’t want to discuss it, then don’t discuss it. Don’t say you don’t want to discuss it, and then discuss it anyway.

      You haven’t even made a point. You’ve described a landscape that has a poor public transit infrastructure, and made absolutely no justification as to why it can’t be fixed. Even if I were to assume you’re saying it’d cost too much to put in more tramways or even just more frequent buses on more routes, you’re completely ignoring the spending and infrastructure that goes into every household on your island getting one car for transit; that cost is going somewhere anyway as long as people need to go places. Most likely, that money is just spent individually rather than on shared solutions that benefit everyone for far less spending.

      I’ve been to Salzburg in Austria, and its hillyness and small, local roadways sound exactly what you’re describing. It uses small streets that prevent walking from becoming an extended, sweaty affair, and it has tram lines that get you from one end of town to the other, very reliably.
