So I often come here, even though I oppose the idea of saying “fuck cars”. And yes, I do know it’s not completely literal. However, I understand the logic.

With that being said, many people are using cars to be delivery contractors. It’s not a necessary utility, but it is useful and is used by the vast majority of (I’ll assume) 1st world countries. If vehicle use is reduced, what do you think would be a good strategy to keep this industry going? Yes, bicycles can still be used, but it would take more time, which would raise prices (capitalism). And another obvious solution would be to just do away with it and just go to restaurants. Do you have any opinions beyond those two that solutions I’ve already presented?

    Motorcycle…? Moped even? If it’s food, it’s the most desirable delivery vehicle currently being used in most part of Asia. Smaller than car, can filter to the front of the light, and faster than bicycle. If it’s for parcel, motorcycle still is the best choice if the item is small. Bigger item however, then yeah car might be ideal. But most parcel is usually small, so motorcycle is still much more viable and cheaper to run than a car.

    BUT if you want a world without personal car, for medium sized parcel, a motorcycle can have a sidecar added for more item. Big sized parcel can be delivered via a van.
