In many places, in areas other than Cardiff, offices don't have parking places for staff and that even includes also hospitals meaning staff on night shift have no option but to walk a couple of miles at the end of their working day or getting a taxi when public transport ends at around 11pm. In some respects Cardiffians are not that hard done by. As an earlier poster said don't knock public transport until you have tried it.
You are quite right, too many people are comparing the Cardiff of today with the Cardiff of yesteryear rather than comparing it with other cities of today. Cardiff is relatively easy to commute to, from and across. There is a period before 9.00am when there is a build up of traffic and a period after around 4.30pm but other than for those short periods it is relatively easy to get around the city.
