https://at.govt.nz/about-us/reports-publications/2018-census#%3A%7E%3Atext=Overall+mode+share+for+journeys%2C9.2%25+-+walked+or+jogged. Yes NEED cars. 90% is wrong but it's still 75%, 75% of all the people who commute (aka dont WFH) needs a private/company car. Have you ever lived anywhere in the suburbs without a bus station? Delusional

Ye I have and I did just fine. That many people "need" cars because all other options are ignored because of people like you. Who don't care about alternatives because "car". You think those 10% of people who cycle / walk do it to "fuck the system" and only do it to hurt themselves, or is it because cars aren't really needed and their existence proves it?
