My experience there was entirely above ground, except for arrival and departure by bus, but from my reading, it seems to be a car-unfriendly city. It must have a low car miles per capita per annum. Does anyone ever measure that? I would think it wouldn’t be too hard to do, using a bit of statistics, because of the odometers built into cars.

We are fortunately car free although that’s partly because we live in a place where public transport works well. Right no, in car crazy Japan we’re travelling more by car eact week than we do in a year at home.

And yes, getting rid of cars is simple, cheap and leads to healthier, happier lives. It really is a no-brainer, but it seems we don’t get it yet…
