As a #carFree household, fuel prices affect us only indirectly, in the way their increase lift other prices in the economy. We are happy to almost never pay for petrol at the pump. 🚲
On one hand, I do feel some sympathy for people struggling to pay the rising cost of petrol. It is tough nowadays.
On the other, maybe this will finally motivate some people to reduce their #carDependency? Maybe those of us living #carLite or car free can finally stop being the tiniest minority?
@ojala yes, I am aware that is the case for some people. And I sympathise.
I agree the system pushes for car dependency, But the reason it can keep doing it for decades is because the majority not only accepts it but fiercely opposes any alternative.
Painful as this is, it is just the start of a necessary shift in how we all do transportation. As I stated, I think the positive side is that maybe those of us with years advocating for alternatives to cars may be less of a minority soon.
