Many people literally die each year because of car-centric infrastructure, and you’re basically telling us to calm down? No fucking way.

Before cars, there used to be a massive amount of infrastructure for trains and streetcars, not to mention walkable neighbourhood, but they all get demolished for cars. So yes, we do operate like that.

And did I mention that car-centricity kills people each year? So yes, eliminate all cars if we have to. But honestly, I don’t think anyone wants to eliminate all cars, just those we don’t need (which is most of them).

Sounds like your city is the problem here, not trains. Vote better.

Normal taxis benefit both the elderly and people with disabilities like you said right now. So why bother with robotaxis?

How is solving a quadratic equation, whose analytical solution is known, equal to driving?

Trains now are already much less lethal than cars. If safety is truly important for you, you would advocate for trains. You ain’t fooling anyone mate.

I’d say traffic calming measures are the only right option for getting people to slow down.

I’ve been enjoying cycling as transportation lately, so right now my top choice is a bike. It’s just so much fun! The ability to dismount and instantly be a pedestrian, and to bring it inside trains makes bicycles very versatile.

I agree. The problem is systemic, so I think the solution should be fixing the system rather than technological. But sadly the former is much harder.

I just checked and Victoria Police recommends Property Vault for registering bikes. Thanks for your suggestion!

Thanks, I’ll look into Bikesure. I don’t have contents insurance, maybe I should look into that as well!

Wouldn’t they bring the same traffic problems as normal motorcycles?
