This is to positive. Vienna is very slowly moving in the right direction when you look at the inner city. But, the local politicians still have a car fetish and are, at the very moment, trying to build an unnecessary highway through a national park.
Die Realitätsverweigerung der Rechten ist das was mich wirklich wütend macht. Wenn man so ideologisch verblendet ist das man keine vernünftige Entscheidung mehr treffen kann...
I am using public transport for everything, urban, suburban, cross country. Trains, busses, trams, subways, sometimes even cable cars. There is a public solution for everything, in my opinion. Although, the more urban and the higher the population density the easier.
Edit: I am not sure if I am just missing your point. Are you just talking about electric busses in an urban enviroment?
I am not advocating for absolutely no cars, but it shouldn't be the default to own one. Neither should it be a necessity in order to participate in society. Car sharing is of course a good solution for the last kilometer.
I don't think there is really a geography where trains are not feasible. I also don't think (charging) infrastructure would be a problem because public transport should be highly predictable. And saying that 3 ton vehicles that are mostly used less than an hour per day are not a waste of resources is disingenious. I know a lot of people can't imagine a life without cars, I couldn't at some point, but it is possible and it is even better.
We will not get rid of car centricity with electric car centricity. Cars are to resource intense to be part of a sustainable world. People should hear the truth from time to time...
You can already use Ubuntu touch if the Volla OS is no longer serviced. I am critical on a very high level, but I really hate e-waste through software obsolescence.
At the moment, this would be the frontrunner. But, it has been on the market for ~a year and they only guarantee "at least 5 years" of software updates. So for the price and with sustainability in mind this seems a very short time. I have to contact them for more information...
