No?
Cars are expensive, and they're not accessible: vision or motor issues will ban you from car usage (and rightfully so). They are also a major and active danger to everyone outside a car. Even more so these days as ebikes, motorized wheelchairs, accessibility scooters, and cantas are more available than ever, and public transport has much improved in their allowance for those (except cantas I guess). I can certainly say that around here, 20 years back, the odds you could get a wheelchair (to say nothing of a motorised one) on a bus were essentially nil.
Limiting cars and improving alternatives makes the entire thing less dangerous and more accessible to everyone.
> I can't imagine having multiple children and living with no car. You cannot bike your 3 kids to schools and hospitals during rainy autumn days.
So… are you saying that the Dutch don't have rain or that they don't have children?
