Or if anyone's job or hobby requires transporting more than can be carried on a bike trailer. Anyone living rurally. Anyone famous. People with mental conditions exacerbated by being enclosed with strangers. All that being said, I'd love to see a shift towards it being more popular.

I would also love to see huge improvements in public transportation, especially around me where the last bus route leaves at 6:30 pm. The only time I would actually consider riding the bus again, it's already shut down.

The reality, though, is that public transportation cannot replace cars for people that need them. And if you live in the United States, it's just too damn big, and at least 20% of the population will probably never see public transportation as a viable option.
