That’s what I meant and I tried to make it clear in my comment. I’m talking about car-brains rather than people who are forced to drive because better infrastructure isn’t there.

But in places like here in London, most places are accessible by public transport or cycling. Most cars that go by as I wait at the bus stop have just the driver in them.

Having said that, the biggest problem I have with public transport is unfortunately the public. I’ve been touched inappropriately by creepy men on the bus and tube. Drug addicts, drunks, people with mental health issues can also be scary to share a bus with. That’s down to mental health and social services in this country being terrible. So I do get why women especially might be put off using the bus.

I’m put off cycling because of the amount of morons riding the wrong way in the cycle lane, or those awful illegal modded throttle bikes that are really unregistered mopeds. Or pedestrians just being dozy or even entitled and deliberately walking on the cycle lane. Ironically, I feel safer riding on the main roads than on cycle lanes.
