So I often come here, even though I oppose the idea of saying “fuck cars”. And yes, I do know it’s not completely literal. However, I understand the logic.

With that being said, many people are using cars to be delivery contractors. It’s not a necessary utility, but it is useful and is used by the vast majority of (I’ll assume) 1st world countries. If vehicle use is reduced, what do you think would be a good strategy to keep this industry going? Yes, bicycles can still be used, but it would take more time, which would raise prices (capitalism). And another obvious solution would be to just do away with it and just go to restaurants. Do you have any opinions beyond those two that solutions I’ve already presented?

    It’s the same principle as with buses, except that it is products instead of people. One cargo hauling vehicle, depending on its type, can haul several items for several people, so you have one vehicle that already removes the need for all those people to get in a car to get whatever delivery they get by themselves. Plus it really is helpful for people with disabilities.
