Imagine getting around your city without owning a car. Less reliance on insurance, maintenance, fuel, taxes and not just that: more liveable spaces, cleaner air and less congestion.
These systems rethink how mobility works by combining public transport, cycling, walking and shared services into one integrated network.
In this video, Aristide Athanassiadis from @MetabolismofCities rides through the city with Tom Dubois, Urban Planner, Head of Communication, Spoke Person and PR at Forum Vies Mobiles, to explore the Alternative Mobility System (AMS).

If everything you need to go to is kilometers apart, a car becomes attractive. In turn if you have a store within a 5 minute walk and your job takes you 20 mins by bike, the car starts becoming a nuisance.
However because people gravitate towards a transit mode which allows them to live as far from work that takes 30 minutes per way, you need to make car trips take too long due to limits pushing people to use alternatives that are faster. Lower speed limits, make cars take extra long routes, whilw promoting the alternatives as a solution to go faster.
PR is Propaganda. So that people believe they need a car in the city and have the right to threaten and, if necessary, kill people there.
This is how idealistic we need to be to implement alternative systems into our society. Wonderful example. Subscribed.
Will go watch the whole interview.
I live in a 1250 year old dutch town and the city center is closed off to all motor traffic. Back in the seventies the central square used to be a parking lot and a busline even had a stop there. Nowadays the streets are filled with tourists and residents alike, cyclists can park their bicycles all around the center for free and cars have to park outside the city walls. Lots of terraces everywhere, for lunch or a beer/coffee or a icecream cone. And it's quiet, the loudest are the occasional toddler complaining to their mums about the lack of screentime.
Public transit is awesome
I love the idea and its calm, rational presentation. Only that annoying background noise which is announced as "music" in the subtitles constantly tries to scare me away. This is no music. Music is created by humans, not algorithms.
Est-ce que les aides fiscales et financières des États sont prises en compte dans le coût du système voiture ?
Je peux faire sans la musique.
