| Comment | While it won't necessarily need to be cycling something will need to be done to get us away from individual motor vehicle transport. Won't matter if people care or not or how convenient people find their cars this will be a thing that happens whether they like it or not.
People often wonder why things like cycle lanes, and LEZs, and congestion charges, continue to get pushed through despite being HUGELY unpopular with a wide portion of voters and it doesn't seem to matter which political party controls the council. The reason is super simple. They are looking at the balance sheets, the projections, and speaking to the planners and they know beyond any doubt the current model is heading toward complete collapse.
We will need to move away from what we have now. The infrastructure costs are just too much (to say nothing of the environmental costs) . In 40 years time, one way or another we will need to have like 1/4 or maybe even 1/5 of the vehicles on our roads in Glasgow that we have now. |
