One vehicle delivering 2 peoples food is better than 2 people driving out to get food, tbh.
Overall delivery drivers substantially reduce traffic.
For more deliverable stuff like packages, 1 delivery truck delivery 40 peoples packages in one trip us so much better than 40 individual households all driving to Walmart or whatever.
I am fine with the majority of traffic just being delivery vehicles and public transit, those are the two actually effective uses for vehicles at the public level.
I have thought the same thing many times, but I'm not completely certain the math checks out. Does lemmy have a "theydidthemath"? Otherwise I might try to figure this one out for once...
It's the same principle as with buses, except that it is products instead of people. One cargo hauling vehicle, depending on its type, can haul several items for several people, so you have one vehicle that already removes the need for all those people to get in a car to get whatever delivery they get by themselves. Plus it really is helpful for people with disabilities.
Except unlike busses, mail parcels don't get impatient waiting for their stop.
Yes but it’s not well used !theydidthemath@lemm.ee !TheyDidTheMath@kbin.social
