@dmoser This requires #PublicTransport networks as well as #accessible and #safe #BikingInfrastructure and #WalkableNeighbourhoods...

And as @notjustbikes pointed out:
This even benefits the car and truck drivers, as there's only a finite amount of roads and lanes that can be built.

Further exacerbated is the situation with de-facto more and more #MotorizedViolence beginning with the design of vehicles...

And no, it's wrong to only blame the "#fattening of #cars" on "mandatory safety equipment" alone.

Maybe we need to also change the paradigm away from Cars as per EC Vehicle Class M1 and push for more sane and space-efficient alternatives in the classes L2e & L5e?

@dmoser @notjustbikes Ideally we'd have #PublicTransport in the smallest village and accessible biking infrastructure all the way from a small farm in the fields to major city centers but it would stand to reason to reduce #bulkyness and #inefficiency...

Elon Musk's Loop is a Bizarrely Stupid Idea

@dmoser @notjustbikes

And seriously, we don't need more #MuskRatTunnels, cuz those get dwarfed by the shittiest public transport...

@[email protected] already showed something better than a shitty #TeslaTunnel that is far cheaper and doesn't clog road surface...

Why Does Germany Build Suspended Monorails (When Almost Nobody Else Does)?

@dmoser @notjustbikes and that #tech is old, reliable and an option when neither #underground #metro stations nor #trams or #lightrail are an option due to #space...

and that's already the worst-possible choice in terms of scalability and cost-effectiveness...
@dmoser kinda sad it takes seeing something like this to drive home the dumbness of transportation systems designed around (what are usually) single-passenger autos
