    there are many place where public transportation and bikes can’t go, especially in the countryside

    Are we still talking about Singapore?

      In that case no. If I remember it well, Singapore is quite small, I suppose bike should be enough for most uses except if you have to move big things, or a lot of groceries, in which case cars makes sense.

      In my case I have a cargo bike, and live near a mid-sized city, so I can just go do my groceries cycling. But someone who is further in the countryside wouldn’t be able to. Partly because of the distance, no one want to do a two hours trip (or more) to buy groceries, but also because having cars zooming past you at 70km/h and more is kinda stressful.

      Case is, cars have uses, cannabis too, but both shouldn’t be used at the same time.
