I've used komoot for some time for cycling in London. It's quite good at creating routes that follow cyle ways/quit streets and the voice instructions are more frequent than Google maps. It does sometimes make some interesting route choices but overall I prefer it

According to the National Travel Survey 2021 only 3% of car trips are for business (see chart 10). The vast majority of trips are for leasure/commuting/shopping which can be done via other means.

Most people use the mode of transport most convenient for them, so the trick is to make more effecient modes of transport (i.e. not cars) the most convenient.

Most trips aren't being taken by people carrying equipment to work. The good thing about promoting alternative methods of travel is that people who really need to drive (like yourself) aren't hindered by those only driving as it's the most convenient. Driving in the Netherlands is excellent partly because they have great cycling and public transport infrastructure.

You might find this video informative from Not Just Bikes about driving in the Netherlands - https://youtu.be/d8RRE2rDw4k?t=2m58s

The post and comments are weirdly surreal, as if the blackout never happened. none of the posts or comments even seem to mention it. Creepy!
