    why would they buy a car when they can pay the same price for public transport

    They answered that

    Basically, because they have no choice. More public transportation is choice.

      Yes it’s definitely 100% a reasonable choice for people who don’t even technically live in cities. Absolutely

        @Lv_InSaNe_vL @Malfeasant I’m happy to limit the ‘no personal cars’ to areas that are 1/4 acre blocks and below. (Remembering that a 1/4 acre block gets back a substantial amount of useful land when you delete the driveway, so blocks all become ‘bigger’ in such a system)

        Places that are substantially less dense than that do benefit from cars. But that isn’t that large a % of people, while it is a very large % of the land mass.
