This picture is dystopian asf and i dont get the point of this AT ALL except for Auckland, where it sounds like a solution to ban all cars in cbd since it’s a choke point already
But I’m 99.9% sure this post is done by someone who lives in Auckland CBD and is a uni student: first of all besides Auckland’s CBD which is filled with delusional uni students literally no one in other cities in NZ will ever think about the concept of banning cars, imagine Hamilton, Whanganui or even Christchurch CBD carry on a car ban it’s ridiculous as people there are extremely car dependent, speak for yaself; second even if you live in some shoeboxes in Auckland CBD and you hate cars, you’re being extremely selfish to advocate car bans because there’s around 30k people live in CBD but 300k daily commute there, and 90% of Aucklanders who commute requires a private vehicle, it’s beyond selfish even you live there because the majority of people NEED a car to get around yet they don’t shout online everyday about “we ban bikes and buses and pedestrians”.
Rant over - from someone who lives 50km from CBD and daily spend 2hr+ in traffic, the commute is already an absolute mess we dont need you to fuck around even harder
Ye I have and I did just fine. That many people “need” cars because all other options are ignored because of people like you. Who don’t care about alternatives because “car”. You think those 10% of people who cycle / walk do it to “fuck the system” and only do it to hurt themselves, or is it because cars aren’t really needed and their existence proves it?

If we had decent public transportation we wouldn’t need the cars in the CBD.
Lmao. NEED cars.

Yes NEED cars. 90% is wrong but it’s still 75%, 75% of all the people who commute (aka dont WFH) needs a private/company car. Have you ever lived anywhere in the suburbs without a bus station? Delusional
