would making it easier for people not to use their cars help? Better public transport, closer services etc? Do a lot of people have multiple cars just in case they sometimes need it.
Hopefully public transport helps, that's the dream. Maybe self driving electric cars make taxis cheap and people stop owning cars, who knows! I wouldn't expect the people on the crowded terraced estates to be the multiple car owning type, maybe two cars per household.
Not even "just in case". Where I live, there is one bus into town at 9:30, and a second at 3:30. Completely unhelpful for anyone who wanted to get to work.
We need significant better public transport for it to even be am option, at the moment its just a token.
