So.

Sieger Suarez Architects and Dezer Development have released details of a 61-storey skyscraper in Miami Beach, which features a lift that allows residents to drive vehicles directly into apartments on all levels.

Possibly driving something through the wall of the lift at ground floor would be an effective way of trapping all the bentleys on the 60 floors above in place, providing a net benefit to society.

No idea, but it’ll be very funny finding out.

Another telegraph article, documenting the success of this thread.

Eight reasons why I’m giving up driving in Britain

With restrictions including 20mph zones, LTNs, low-emission zones and cycle lanes, it seems Britain really has declared war on the motorist

Interesting report from Ireland - free public transport won't help reduction in car journeys. - Restricting parking, and increasing fuel cost and restricted road usage will...

Free public transport would mean just 1% reduction in car travel, says report

"...free public transport was more likely to result in fewer people walking and cycling, than a cut to car use."

That report is just regurgitating the results of various previously carried out studies - this is not really new information.

Yes - I know it is - it says so in the article... but I was unware of it, so thought of some interest.. Particuarly when I'd thought free public transport might be something that would make a difference..

 

[teuchter]

Well maybe not for you...

It's been discussed on the thread a few times previously, eg

Entirely unashamed anti car propaganda, and the more the better.

I read a few years ago that some people were walking across the top of cars that were parked on pavements. I once almost got arrested for dancing on the roof of a van, pissed-up on New Year's Eve, although bemused, they were happy enough once I had proved it was my van. :thumbs:

How interesting - however I'm afraid given the prevailing bollocks that has dominated large parts/most of this thread - do you really think me or many other people will have been keeping an eye on all 332 pages of it...

 

[teuchter]

There's certainly no harm in it being brought to people's attention again in any case.

 

[edcraw]

Think it’s very worth pointing out again and good that it’s a study pulling together lots of evidence. It’s always an excuse people give for not giving up cars that public transport is too expensive but as selfish Sue shows it’s bollocks.

It’s a parody account.

The welsh government have been reading this thread and as a result we see some tentative moves towards recognising the harm that cars do.

How many mpg do you get out of an M4 or A470 anyway?
