Nice.
On the Road to Zero point. The only way to reduce crashes to a near zero quantity is to reduce the number of cars and car trips. Which can only be achieved by providing viable alternatives to driving. Which would ideally be intercity, regional, and city trains that don't just cater to the 9-5 work day commuter.
I would take trains if there were reliable services between cities I want to travel between.
If this happens in my lifetime I'd be stoked.
At minimum I want intercity services on our existing train lines.
I don't want to drive between home in Whangarei and mum/family in Auckland. There already exists a train line, let me pay for tickets.
This. This this this this this
I just want to add that viable alternatives to driving means that those who don't want to drive, or are unable to drive, or who should not be driving, they then do not have to drive.
The people who scraped through and eventually passed the driving test, but even after a number of years driving are barely competent then don't need to be driving.
When driving isn't necessary for personal mobility, then the licensing and testing can be much stricter, or, as strict as necessary for safety without as much backlash.
