According to the National Travel Survey 2021 only 3% of car trips are for business (see chart 10). The vast majority of trips are for leasure/commuting/shopping which can be done via other means.
Most people use the mode of transport most convenient for them, so the trick is to make more effecient modes of transport (i.e. not cars) the most convenient.
Most trips aren’t being taken by people carrying equipment to work. The good thing about promoting alternative methods of travel is that people who really need to drive (like yourself) aren’t hindered by those only driving as it’s the most convenient. Driving in the Netherlands is excellent partly because they have great cycling and public transport infrastructure.

It’s a shame healthy food is often much more expensive than the crap stuff. I can buy a whole packet of custard creams for the price of one apple.
The post and comments are weirdly surreal, as if the blackout never happened. none of the posts or comments even seem to mention it. Creepy!
