Here is an archive link.

Almost a dozen regular Brisbane people took on a challenge to give up their car for 20 days, but by the end of the experiment, they decided it was unrealistic for them to go totally car-free.

Urban planners from The University of Queensland recruited 10 car-owning Brisbane residents – five men and five women.

They were asked to follow their regular schedules, but use public transport, walk or ride instead.

What they found is that the city and it’s public transport options are antagonistic toward people who do not or cannot drive themselves.
