Blaming cyclists for something a motorist failed to do seems to be a uniquely North American thing.
I can tell you that it's also very much a thing in many parts of Europe.
You don't even need that many people before cars become impractical.
In two years presumably. It's been two years away since 2015.
So we can build things to a somewhat lower capacity sure. That helps, but what exactly does it solve?
Even if we assume everyone can work from home, people still need to go places for other reasons.
What's the difference?
Anti car doesn't mean completely banning cars. Nobody is saying to replace ambulances with bus trips. There's obviously a need and cars would be much more effective for those things if the roads weren't clogged with people who don't have a need.
Fast & frequent public transport, safe cycling infrastructure, footpaths, just putting things closer together to reduce the need for transport
The only solution to car traffic is building viable alternatives to driving. Alternatives also bring many environmental and societal benefits.
It's Shanghai, Yan'an Road West. You can see the front of Jing'an Temple and the adjacent mall in the distance. There's definitely some editing weirdness going on on the road in the foreground though.
Speak for yourself. I'm not pulling this out of my arse, I'm telling you things I just happen to know.
A single train with a single crew can transport more people in a day when travelling at higher speed.
This is running costs. The capital costs are irrelevant.
I don't see it as ridiculing anyone. It's criticising the system that created this mess.
