I absolutely agree. But where I live (a village in the UK) it would take me two busses, take 2x as long and cost 3-4x as taking my EV to work. For some people though, it would absolutely work, assuming the services and infrastructure were in place.

Tried it. No car for 2 years. Lost soooo much extra time (generally longer and reliability issues also) and had to put up with so many dodgy people.
Granted, it was (for me) much cheaper, but the loss of time and perceived safety wasn’t enough for me to make the savings worth it.
Gave up and got a car again. If the desire is to get everyone onto public transport, public transport has to be better.

2 years ago this same image would have taken a much different interpretation
