Timeguessr is very similar to whentaken, but I prefer the former.

I don't see it as ridiculing anyone. It's criticising the system that created this mess.

Blaming cyclists for something a motorist failed to do seems to be a uniquely North American thing.

I can tell you that it's also very much a thing in many parts of Europe.

You don't even need that many people before cars become impractical.

In two years presumably. It's been two years away since 2015.

So we can build things to a somewhat lower capacity sure. That helps, but what exactly does it solve?

Even if we assume everyone can work from home, people still need to go places for other reasons.

What's the difference?

Anti car doesn't mean completely banning cars. Nobody is saying to replace ambulances with bus trips. There's obviously a need and cars would be much more effective for those things if the roads weren't clogged with people who don't have a need.

Fast & frequent public transport, safe cycling infrastructure, footpaths, just putting things closer together to reduce the need for transport

The only solution to car traffic is building viable alternatives to driving. Alternatives also bring many environmental and societal benefits.

tl;dw they made some sensible cost cutting measures to create a nice tram system cheaply in a small city.

It's Shanghai, Yan'an Road West. You can see the front of Jing'an Temple and the adjacent mall in the distance. There's definitely some editing weirdness going on on the road in the foreground though.

Speak for yourself. I'm not pulling this out of my arse, I'm telling you things I just happen to know.

tldw Hamburg wanted to build an urban highway network, but it wasn't complete and they built some nice things in the space left over.

tl;dw people in suburbs actually live close to things, and many do want to cycle, but it's too dangerous.
