"In a quality city, a person should be able to live their entire life without a car, and not feel deprived."
β€”Paul Bedford (photo: the bicycle wagon of a train in #Copenhagen's station.)

As Bedford points out, the opposite is also true:
"A good sustainability and quality of life indicator: the average amount of time spent in a car."

(Elevated time car-commuting time also turns out to be a reliable metric of social isolation and general life dissatisfaction.)

@straphanger Anyway that remind to me an old #POV-Ray rendering.
