Bingo bongo. There are also tons of greenhouse gases + other pollution associated with cars that are not the gas they burn to drive. Road infrastructure is a big one.

Ties are a problem that we are just beginning to understand. But we can replace and keep the car.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'd love good public transport instead. When it's good, people use it instead. When I go to a decent (European) city I want to ditch the car a.s.a.p as it's just a hamper.
