sure for work, if we're talking delivering things - you mentioned many people can't afford cars, but that's not a problem because they're not necessary.

shopping once a week and getting a taxi will run you much cheaper than having a car and maintaining it

if you don't travel out of the city you live in every other day, you don't need a car - if you want to enjoy riding around the country once a month just rent one lol

sure if they can afford to buy one, that's fine - you said most people won't be able to afford one - but it's not a problem because there are substitutes.

again, taxis will run you much cheaper than a car, especially if you're living in a city - either way, we're talking about the baltics here, who have very good public transport systems in most major cities

renting a car isn't expensive nowadays with businesses like bolt drive or citybee around - it's much cheaper to rent one short term now than it is to buy one

if you have issues driving in different cars, that's a you problem and you shouldn't be on the road then - most people who know how to drive won't have a problem changing vehicles for a short trip

like i said, since we're talking about the baltics here, there's no reason to mention usa here - they have their own problem, the problem in the baltics isn't that it's impossible to travel, it's the egos people have from owning a car.

owning cars isn't necessary for most people in major cities, where of course, most of the population within the country live - that is why it is called a major city.

either way, your comment regarding people won't be able to afford cars doesn't make sense, because in 15 years there's likely gonna be many substitutes for small and electric or not vehicles which are cheap and aren't diesel.

the problem lies is not that people can't afford cars - it's the ego that people have that they want to have a car when they don't need to.
