And what's more, today public transport is free only 5.00-17.00, as if everybody is back home by 17.00...

Stupid ****s...

Still cheaper than cars generally so why complain?

Sounds like a great idea. How does it work? Are cars just banned from the city core?

Most cars. From 8 AM to 7 PM.
As stated above ambulance, police, firefighters, public transports, taxis and some professionals (doctors, security) are allowed.
You may get also a special permit under special circimstances (handicap people, ...).
Driving rules still apply, but the speed limit is set to 30 kph for non-emergency vehicles (taxis, ...).

Some cities need to implement EZ-link cards.

Only 30? I live in a smallish town and I routinely travel at least 20, but quite often up to 40-50 miles a day (though never in one stretch) -- all by bike. Unless traffic is a real b*tch that doesn't take more than 4 hours (10-15 miles/hour is quite a realistic and comfortable speed) and is excellent exercise

Of course, Dutch infrastructure is ideally suited for bicycling (with special lanes and roads reserved specifically for bikes, etc). This is rarely the case outside the Netherlands, so it might be less convenient to travel by bike then. But it being too much effort or taking too much time is in my experience only an issue if you really live in the middle of nowhere and even the most basic facilities are 20 miles or more away...

What's wrong with that? I do. If I need to go farther, I either take public transportation or rent a car.

I'll often ride my bike 20-30km in a day. Even living in the cambrian shield, with hills all over the place, I get by fine. I just wish there where less highways and more bike lanes and trails.

The truth is that if people walked more or bicycled more instead of driving their car, they'd get more healthy exercise, would be less overweight and wouldn't have to go on these idiotic diets.

anti-car idiocy?

Yeah, we should privatise the roads. I'm sure toll booths on every junction would allieviate Paris' traffic problems.

Without a car, it takes me roughly an hour and a half to get to school (using the schoolbuses). In a car, it takes me forty minutes.

I live in Colorado, the epitome of "we have lots of space, lets build everything horizontally!" Because of that, we're a lot bigger area-wise than most metros in other areas that have a lot larger populations.

Public transport is complete crap (though they're trying to push forward more light rail stuff, but most people don't care anyways), so a car is a necessity.

They already have tollbooths on every junction. Well, not on every junction, but on most major motorways anyway...

how do you carry all your groceries if you are riding a bycycle?
