Interesting article from 2018. But nothing has changed at all. Even the electric cars I see on the road are huge.

Im curious what people here would take to work. A 20 minute drive or an hour bike ride. Buses don’t exist near me nor will they. What are my options. It’s too hot, the weather is unpredictable, and im not spending an hour one way to work.
If you say there will never be buses near you, I presume you don’t live in a city. If you did, I don’t see why the city creating a bus line there wouldn’t be possible.
For folks commuting from outside the city to inside, the best is a big car park outside the city next to a commuter train station. Make it frequent and reliable.
i dont want people commuting to jobs everyday that are 10km away. i dont want that to be typical. just my thoughts on the matter
In a well designed urban society, cars will be the slowest mode of transport.
Trust me bro, we just need 1 lane only. Just one lane for cars, bro. And 6 lanes in each direction for busses and trains and bicycles.

People would in general change either their living place or place of work to be about a half hour’s trip. That would take some time sure, but people mostly aren’t going to bike an hour every day for many of the same reasons they don’t drive an hour every day.
An hour ebike ride most days would be what I’d opt for. Doesn’t matter if its like 100° and high humidity and a thunderstorm just means its a cooler bike ride.
