20-25 km to buy groceries means there should be public transport available to get you there. Or it means that your villages and cities are shittily built to not have neccessities within walking distance.

Has nothing to do with shittily built, public transport for 5 people that's available around the clock isn't something that's even remotely feasible, nor is it economical.

Apart from that, if you think like that, you're part of the problem. Where do you think the groceries will come from in the future? From farmers that go about with public transport?

Yeah it is remotely feasible to setup public transport like that.

Nobody advocating for reduced car dependency and public transportation want to force farmers or rural people to sell their cars and take the bus. This argument is so fucking stupid and so fucking tiresome.

It's being implied every single time this topic comes up.

And in the countries where there is no such public transport, they still shouldn't implement such a law until they get their public transport in order.

So they won't implement such law ever because nobody will go for public transport. Instead they'll add "one more lane"
