      Make it “x” percent of your income then, so rich people have to pay an amount that hurts them and poor people have to pay an amount that hurts them, so everyone is hurt and thinks about using public transport and then make public transport on top cheaper for the poor.

      Poor people can afford $40000 vehicles, but they can’t afford a $1500 e bike?

        Can a E-Bike carry your three children to school? Your groceries for 5 people? Does it protect you from rain and shitty weather?

        And 4k for a car… Idk i could get a working car for 1k…

          So why do feel there is a need to carry kids to school by car? In inner-city London, no less.

          Also, you can get a working car for 1k€$ but that’s obviously not the full cost. You need to pay for parking, maintenance, insurance, taxes and, finally, gas.
