With adequate public transportation, it becomes much more comfortable and convenient.
My city installed a few additional bike paths, and added some more buses, and the difference is huge.
I don't even need a car except when traveling longer distances.
But there is no adequate transportation. And we just have no space for more tracks and more trams and busses. Quite the contrary, we even canceled many routes. Public transport is a nightmare here and I wouldn't use it if I'd be paid to do it. Well and bike-paths is the same problem. No space. Biking is bad here, the absolute opposite to our neighbors the dutch. But I wouldn't wanna use a bike anyway. I wanna get to point B quickly.
You've got to invest in it before it gets good. You've got decades of car centric infrastructure inertia making cars the more convenient choice. All you've got to do is invest just enough to make alternatives actually possible.
I don't know the challenges of your specific infrastructure, but there are certainly improvements that could be made
Sure you could tweak here and there, but you'd need to turn it completely around to make it attractive to me. And then, a car is still more appealing to me. But as said, we have limited space and growing numbers of people. It's room to live or more trains. And trains are only used by the lower classes, so nobody actually cares....
Indeed, I think something's got to give if we're to have any future worth living. Probably very many things should change. I'm a bit of an misanthrope myself, so getting used to more communal arrangements is painful.
Would you be more likely to champion a less attractive option if it was part of a larger initiative to make a better world?
If it would REALLY mean a thing? Yes. I would. I already work for free in a place where abused people end up broken and alone. Also gift away money to them, anonymously. They don't even know from whence it came. Guess that counts as a "less attractive" option ๐
But some half-assed wanna-be-feelgood thing? For some social-media-points? Naaah.
And yup, misanthrope here. And we indeed need substantial changes. We all, no matter where, most of everything is bad anyway.
