@MarvinFreeman @otfrom @ajsadauskas @urlyman @fuckcars And also changing mode of transport twice! Changeovers suck and add time to your journey.

@MarvinFreeman @otfrom @ajsadauskas @urlyman @fuckcars Regarding the money, that’s annoying because it should be solvable. For example Amsterdam has park n rides on its outskirts because they don’t want cars in the city. The P+R parking is far cheaper than parking in the city (literally 10x cheaper), so the cost of the tram is a non-issue.

@otfrom @ajsadauskas @urlyman @fuckcars c’mon man, this is the wrong type of pedantry. Of course park and ride exists, and is sometimes a useful option for connecting people to public transport. But it is absolutely not the correct choice if it’s in place of being able to walk 15 mins or less to a bus stop, for anyone living in an urban area. Requiring everyone to drive 10 mins and then park to catch the bus every day is ridiculous urban design.

@ajsadauskas @urlyman @fuckcars Why on earth would anyone answer ‘should not’ to a bus stop being within 15 mins? How are they thinking you get to the bus stop, by driving?!

Also, as a Dutchie, the amount of ‘should nots’ for a bar within 15 mins is killing me. I understand it, but it points to such a lack of imagination about what a city can look like. I have at least 20 bars within 15 mins walk of home and I’m not in the city centre 😄
