20-25 km to buy groceries means there should be public transport available to get you there. Or it means that your villages and cities are shittily built to not have neccessities within walking distance.
Has nothing to do with shittily built, public transport for 5 people that’s available around the clock isn’t something that’s even remotely feasible, nor is it economical.
Apart from that, if you think like that, you’re part of the problem. Where do you think the groceries will come from in the future? From farmers that go about with public transport?
Nobody advocating for reduced car dependency and public transportation want to force farmers or rural people to sell their cars and take the bus. This argument is so fucking stupid and so fucking tiresome.
And in the countries where there is no such public transport, they still shouldn’t implement such a law until they get their public transport in order.
I lived in Singapore without a car, there is no need to own a car. I used public transport and ride sharing without ever feeling that having a car would have improved my experience. In Hong Kong it was the same, and I lived in the Northern Territories, however in Sydney we had a car even though public transport was great, because its a big fucking country. Now in Penang, Malaysia there is no usable public transport, so a car is absolutely essential.
20km for groceries is not bad transit planning it’s called living in the middle of fucking nowhere. It’s completely irrelevant to any discussion related to urban planning and car dependency.
Other countries like Singapore, sure. Countries where you’ve got to go 20-25 km just to buy basic groceries, fuck no.

Yeah it is remotely feasible to setup public transport like that.

It’s being implied every single time this topic comes up.
Did you really think this up? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So they won’t implement such law ever because nobody will go for public transport. Instead they’ll add “one more lane”

Smfh
did you really think I was referring to rural areas lmfao
Homie what the fuck. What percentage of people living in first world countries do you think this applies to?
In Germany, Austria and Italy? A lot. I’d say at least 40%.
