“Welcome to Town, USA! Please stay seated till the aircraft has parked at the gate, the temperature outside is 69 Freedom Degrees, the local time is 6:19 PM so good luck leaving the airport with any amount of haste and no there isn’t an air-rail link, we thank you for flying with us, enjoy spending almost as much time in traffic as you did on the plane!”

      Tokyo, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, New York?

      They all have over 50% non-car mode share. Wouldn’t call those dependent on cars.

      Many cities are not car dependent. Even in the US there’s some where you can get around entirely without a car.

          nobody said that? its about supporting other modes of transit not banning cars. banning cars is not helpful if i still have to deal with several acres of parking lots and 8 lane stroads between every location.

        That’s sounds just as pretentious as this post does. I’ve been to plenty of cities that are more or less dependent on cars for commuting, that’s it.

        This cultish attitude feels greasy and unhelpful though. Zespecially from ze Europeans whov are perfect!
