Cars are useful and convenient. That is partially why they are so popular.
If you want less cars in your city car sharing services and micro mobility (scooters, ebikes) are your friend.
"useful and convenient"....
How about deadly, destructive, and isolating?
Or we could just ignore the corrupt alliance of industry colluding to eliminate other transportation options and wax poetic about the Free Market and Rugged Individualism, right?

I share a couple cars with a few hundred neighbours. Saves a bunch of parking spaces.
I like to share these small cars from TransMashHolding:
Bigger one I like too:
And tiny car from LIAZ I like too:
That last one seems like one of those "trackless trains" China is developing. They really live in the future

Don’t get me wrong, the primary cars that I share ride on steel wheels :)
I understand. I can't handle rubber wheels over long distance for some reason.
Except when during winter. Or any time of year when you try to find place to store your box of rust.
Mine ain't rusted much yet. But its only from 2015 so maybe it will happen. Hoping to go electric soon!
