Can confirm. There's a strong contingent of my neighbours that have said that they hate having to drive, and that the only thing keeping them in their cars was the absence of a safe & practical alternative.
Also, how many of you have ridden in the car with someone who experienced or witnessed too many accidents? Some of those people would pogo stick 2 miles to the nearest store rather than sit next to you while you back a car out of the garage. I think a lot of people who have experienced the downside of cars have sympathy for the idea that it doesn't have to be like this. We could have... options!

Yet more evidence that we don’t have a representative government.
