    Bloody typical, you seem to think you can skip straight to the end of the journey.

    No, that’s not how things work, this is a stepping stone towards that.

    You can’t just take a 200 meter horizontal leap across the water, you need these stepping stones to then make it across

      The problem is you can’t solve the problem by simply removing the car. There are 3 major phases to commuting: 1st mile, primary transit, and last mile. A car solves all 3 at once, which is why it’s very easy to design around cars.

      And the frustrating thing is, you really do need all 3 in a lot of places. I live in Texas where it can be triple digit temperatures for 5 months of the year.
