Centring transport around people, not cars, can propel development. ‘People not cars’ what a wonderful phrase! #PeopleBeforeCars

@pedestrians1st But also replacing all the wrecked cars adds to the GDP. The fact that cars get wrecked regularly is a key feature of the business strategy of car and insurance companies, which are some of the biggest in the US and other car-dependent countries. Also, if your healthcare system is for-profit as it is here, even providing care to the human car crash victims adds to "GDP".
