I think Caesar assumes we all have access to a train service. He needs to live in NZ sometime. The car is king here because there's often no alternative and never will be. Our city has bus links to other cities and a domestic airport but neither option is as cheap as driving your car - even with gas at $4 US a gallon here at the moment (which is cheap for us).

For example, like most New Zealanders, these are our only options: 

Fly to Auckland = $120 one way - 30 mins.

Bus to Auckland = $65 one way - 6 hours.

Drive to Auckland = $40 one way - 4.5 hours.

The idea of everyone living in communities right next door to their work is wonderful - if a little naive aaaand perhaps just a tad too communistic for me.

For me, like millions of others, the car is king and will always be. For me the future of transport is personal and private, not public. Bring on those EVs.
