A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.

Sound efficient?

An objective observer studying our society would quickly conclude that we care more about our cars than our kids.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

If you’re thinking “it doesn’t matter that cars are massively inefficient. They’re necessary! Try getting around where I live without them!”

That’s exactly the point. We’ve designed places to be dependent on a massively inefficient, damaging & dangerous way of getting around.

"A road is designed so most people will naturally drive the speed limit, slow down at crossings, and be aware of other road users, without being explicitly told to do so."
