Like I said, litany of excuses.

If you really don’t like cars, you’ll find a way to minimize use of them.

If you really don’t mind cars that much you’ll make up stories about how if buses and trains and bike lanes were more attractive then people would use them more.

I guarantee that if every American city had an ideal bus and train system, people would still find excuses and reasons to justify driving their cars.



There is literally an example of a city with great public transport and 90% of people there use it exclusively. So most people will not make excuses but just use the thing that is easy.
