stepanCar free cities should be the future.
Frank RingMy city is full of hills and mountains.
Electric bikes make a massive difference.
Also trams don’t mind that.
That’s true to an extent. I do have ebikes but climbing hills requires more power and power is limited.
ExcrubulentIf San Francisco can do it then no city has an excuse.
Lol, it’s not that simple to create and maintain such an infrastructure.
Trams and cable cars are unique and part of San Francisco’s history.
Building infrastructure is never easy. San Francisco’s experience could aid in teaching other cities how it’s done. If there’s an easier method, then it could be used, but hills obviously aren’t that big of a problem.
Also riding up hills is just a matter of having the appropriate gears: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipENw5mjjSg
UnderpantsWeevilI don’t know if I’d use SF as an example of a car free city. They’ve got it as bad as anyone.
I used it as an example of how trams can work on steep hills.
