I’m a person living in a rural area and have to either go by train, the nearest station being 15 mins away by car and the trains having a schedule that keeps fluctuating.

Or have to go by car where it takes 60 mins to get where I need to go. I wouldn’t want to get a late pickup or anything outrageous just something to get me places.

I’m not a car enthusiast or anything like that.

    Fair enough I’m in a rural town in Europe and it’s mostly an issue of having to get to the city, thankfully I don’t need to use a car for anything else other than getting to work and maybe the nearest large town but that’s mostly due to the fact that a family sadly needs loads of groceries to feed itself.

      yeah if you do most of your day to day tasks without a car and just use a car sometimes then that’s great. the issue is like how it is here in america where you literally can’t do anything without a car. it sucks.

        Yeah I’ve heard about it from my boyfriend it’s crazy! He goes “see you in 3 hours I gotta go shopping”

          that’s how it is Dx. 1 hour drive to get to the store and a 1 hour drive back, plus all the time you spend shopping.

              I think more people are finally becoming aware of the issue, so yeah I think we’ll eventually start heading in the right direction. maybe not at the pace the netherlands did it, but… eventually.
