Incentives for carpooling and shared transportation encourage people to share rides, reducing the number of vehicles on the road and lowering emissions. Proponents argue that it reduces traffic congestion, lowers emissions, and promotes community interactions. Opponents argue that it may not significantly impact traffic, could be costly, and some people prefer the convenience of personal vehicles.
Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@9NQDL7F6mos6MO
Depends on if it is possible in some areas, especially those in the middle of no where. Increase transportation and improve it first.
@9QXRSPS5mos5MO
Improve public transport instead, and reduce the costs, and even provide free transport for low income individuals wherever possible.
@9QH3V9W5mos5MO
Yes, but also understand that this is not always practical for everyone i.e. parents doing school run before work.
@9Q6QF3W5mos5MO
The government should focus on fixing the cost of existing public transportation and improving rail and bus services.
@9PZHF975mos5MO
Incentives would not be necessary if public transport was improved to be be more routes and more regular.
@9PXBG355mos5MO
If the buses/trams/trains are taken under local control, prices are lowered to make it cheaper and routes are well provided for, this will work better.
@9PTXJQM5mos5MO
No, because this is logistically difficult. There are better ways to spend money on public transport.
@9PGJZTT6mos6MO
Yes encourage car sharing, however this is not a new thing. However incentivize them how? This seems crazy.
Not necessarily a monetary incentive, but things like a carpool lane
@9PLDXCW6mos6MO
No, they should encourage public transport usage where possible rather than cars even as ride shares
@9PH25PX6mos6MO
yes and develop better Park and Ride systems outside city centres with electric charging points for every vehicle space.
@9P4GG7F6mos6MO
Now working from home has been proven to work - this should be embraced and encouraged- as this will reduce congestion and emissions and increase work/life balance and health- of both employees who prefer to wah and employees who like to work amongst colleagues.
@9N28DSS6mos6MO
Government should invest in public transport, improving services.
@9MWG7KW6mos6MO
Yes but for public transport not private cars and only once infrastructure has sufficient capacity.
@9MVDWQH6mos6MO
Public transportation options should be more cost effective
@9MVDHGT6mos6MO
Incentives for public transport, and not using motor vehicles ie walking, cycling
@9MTVVHP6mos6MO
Private companies should promote this to their employees too.
@9MPM969English Democrats7mos7MO
Provide cheap, clean and efficient public transport
@9NYLWQH6mos6MO
Yes if this can be regulated to ensure safety of passengers. Better to invest money in public transport improvements
@9MWPGF26mos6MO
Needs to be more consideration of safety within this but yes
