Ha! People in Vietnam are notorious for walking nowhere. Need to go to the store down the street? Get the motorbike. Sidewalks are crammed with bikes so being a pedestrian sucks hard in Vietnam.

Add on top you’ll often be riding a motorbike in between container trucks i think your example makes the opposite point you think it does.



The OP said, "I can't imagine having multiple children and living with no car."

My point was that hundreds of millions of people have families without having a car.

I didn't say anything about being a pedestrian.

And container trucks aren't allowed in the city before 10pm, so I doubt you'll spend much time riding among them


But the problems with cars aren’t eliminated with motorcycles. In fact, the emissions on motorcycles are way worse.

And I’m not sure balancing a family of two adults and two children on a motorbike is much of a better option.

And sure if you’re wealthy enough to live in the city center there aren’t many container trucks, but many people aren’t.
