Where I live has a pretty good bike route along an old railway to the next town over and yet still loads of people opt to drive. Despite driving taking longer due to all the traffic!
I suppose quite a few people do cycle too tough. But it just seems crazy to me that so many willingly sit in that traffic every day.
The solution is certainly not to replace rails with trails.
We just need to ban cars on half the roads.
Yeah, kinda wish they replaced it with a tram line tbh. Urban sprawl between 2 towns that are now 1 continuous urban area, original train line was a few stations at each end but not much in the middle and the current route has a bus that stops all the way down it. A tram would be great for that.
