Let me remind you that there are rural areas where people life in farms and need to drive to the factory they work in, there's no shuttle bus, no train no nothing, and while isolated factories exist this will still be the case. They can't really arrange a bus that goes to pick up their employees, since the roundabout would make it more gax expensive and some people live in places where a bus can't even dream to get in.

I wish things improved, and that this became a reality for cities, there's already cities in holland where getting the car in is prohibited, you need to leave it outside the city, but making car dependency fiscally unsustainable is punishing people that can't have the privilege to work on other stuff. Imagine electrical technitians, they can't take a bus/train/tram with machinery, even in a city. I'm all in for improvement and punishment for whim driving, but it needs to be regulated well not to fuck again poor people, because factory workers of rural areas aren't partcularly rich.

For reference, I live in a mountain area, Europe.
