What would it take to make you give up your car?

Car sharing becoming a big thing. I use this occasionally when I’m in Vancouver. Pick one up anywhere you see one (there’s hundreds of them) and drop it anywhere (legally) you like. Only constraint is that it’s programmed to shut down outside a certain circumference.

We have Ubeeqo (which is eurocar) can be quite expensive depending where you want go. We have about 10 different electric moped companies which is really handy ( https://en.rideyego.com/ ), works out slightly less than a taxi and we have one of the best public transport system in the world. On the other hand we have the drivers and the petrol lobby!
With some of the worst air quality in Europe and a ridiculous driving experience, a government and council doing their best to offer alternatives and bring laws to make driving harder (old cars, circulation restrictions), yet rather than accept a collective social responsibility, people fight them in the courts. You can't separate a man from his car!

I don't think it would work in Cardiff they can't even trust the residents with bikes?

The Taff would be full of Mondeos!

What would it take to make you give up?

With petrol how far would you go £2.50 per litre, £5.00?

A decent and cheap train service, with all the railway lines that Beecham did way with in the 60s being replaced. Ain't gonna happen though

Trains are the best, I worked in Newcastle for a bit there Metro system was decent and worked quite well in a similar type of City to Cardiff and surrounding areas, so it can work if properly planned and good investment.
