Upvote if you don’t have a car,
Downvote if you do.
No I’m not farming karma, there’s no counter on Lemmy. This is the only way to run a poll.
You must log in or register to comment.
just a heads up, this method of polling won’t account for people on instances without downvote turned on, like mine. hopefully we’re statistically insignificant enough not to skew your results
I have three, I’m a car enthusiast. I want to enjoy my car without the entirety of society being required to own them to exist.
Even if the dream is achieved and taking my car is more expensive and slower than public transit (which it should be), I’d still drive most of the time because I actually enjoy it. I’d rather not share the road with people that also actually want to be there. It’d be a safer and more pleasant experience.
I have a car but I wish I had an alternative. In my city busses take so long I literally go faster by foot.
I might be wrong. But I think if cars were banned, we would have better public transportation.
Start with taxing cars wherever public transit is a reasonable alternative, then raise the rates annually, and pretty soon most cars will band themselves.
Just a pipe dream, of course…
We moved to a big city and went from two cars down to one. I’m working on convincing my other half to go to zero cars. We don’t use it enough to justify the expense. An occasional road trip or big shopping run. We can easily (and far more cheaply) just rent a car when we want.
I don’t have a car but I could afford one. It’s getting more and more tempting to get one. My husband and I are our mid 30’s and we all too often rely on friends and family for a lift. It feels likes like we’re not so much car free as carless.
I’ve never had a car but am considering it for the first time in my life, at least temporarily. My upcoming internship is at a school in a relatively rural village, and it’s technically under the 1.5 hours travel time my college promises, but only by 10 minutes. Compared to the travel time by car which is 35-45 minutes depending on the time of day. Even in a country as dense and non-car friendly as the Netherlands it still sucks ass to get anywhere more rural without a car.
I have a car, it’s currently broken. I intend to sell it for scrap, but will likely need to get another one as my local infrastructure is not fit for purpose for anything but cars.
I do. If I didn’t it would take me 3 hours to get to work by bus and I don’t think I would be able to get a bus home. Assuming the busses are running which isn’t a guarantee, or 2 hours by bike. If I had the stamina to bike for that long and not get murdered on the road.
Would move into the town but that is completely unaffordable.
Got rid of my car a month ago, and I’m happier without it.
Same here, I’m a true bus wanker now!
I grew up in a car-less household, so I’m used to walking or using public transport. I cycle to work and walk or use the bus or train for shopping. I only get a lift by car when visiting one of my relatives because it’s three buses each way and the route there has too many twists and turns for me to feel confident cycling.
One Prius Prime I share with my wife. I commute by bike and public transit but having a family car is still very handy and my wife uses it to commute.
I have a car because I need to. And that’s the issue. 😁
We sold our house and car, moved to the city and bought a cargo bike instead. Its great! So much more relaxing and a good way for kids to experience the journeys we take. For longer occasional trips we either take the train or loan a car. (I live in Denmark, but not in Copenhagen)
Can’t downvote from my instance so this types of posts don’t really work on Lemmy. (I don’t have a car)
They work the best. Is there another solution?
The other way to do it is to have two comments, one with each poll option. The other upside is that if this “no” vote is more popular, your post doesn’t get buried.
They simply do not work at all.
We don’t own a car. Mostly rely on bike and public transport. Big German city. For holidays or weekend trips we often rent a car.
yeah and ive had to use it more lately because thE CITY WONT PAY ITS DRIVERS AND END THE TRANSIT STRIKE 😒
