    Heck yeah! Me and my GF I feel like are a good example of this.

    I use an escooter because I work from home, and my favorite grocery stores and dr office are within a mile. I’m also about 3 miles from a train station that goes up and down utah valley, so I see no reason for a car. I uber once every other month like when I needed to get something large to the post office.

    My GF is a CNA that does free lancing. So it’s not unusual for her to have to drive an hour to the middle of nowhere with a shift that ends/starts in the middle of the night. A car just makes sense for her.

    But people like me using micromobility/public transit means there are less cars on the road, less cars taking up parking, and even reducing the price of cars.
