During peak times I also beat cars. But when it comes to any other time - cars are just faster.

Okay, now factor in the total cost of individual car ownership + the cost of the infrastructure per capita divide it by the median hourly wage to find out how many extra hours people have to work to pay for car dependency

Next, to the public life expectancy and minus the average age then times that by the total automotive fatalities per year. That gives you an estimate of the time stolen from others to fuel car dependency.

Now find out the travel times of a pedestrian/ bike friendly city like the Netherlands. The first hour of biking each day contributes the medically necessary exercise recommendations so that time should not be factored into the travel time since it is time that a person needs to spend to be healthy in the first place.

Also, try to factor in how much quicker travel times could be if we didn’t need to waste so much space supporting car dependency. …

Hopefully you are starting to see cars are no where as great as they seem. The best argument for owning a car is sadly just to be safe from all the other cars, but even that is wrong because the health benefits far outweigh the risks
