you might need to upgrade to make it a bit quicker

its had a few tweaks, but the only way to do Europe would be to add wings!

I wonder how long it would take me to reach last clientco (Bern, Switzerland) from current home (Warwickshire, UK) in the wheelchair!

White is a classic choice for a car – sleek and always in style. I actually considered this model myself before ultimately going for an Audi A5. Something about the Audi's design really caught my eye, plus I managed to snag a great deal on one that was auctioned off in America.

If you can’t walk maybe it’s better to stay at home...

You cannot use public transport so how are you going to get to work if you cannot walk, cycle or drive?

Compulsory staggering of work start might deal with the rush hour finally

I'd be up for compulsory staggering from work, but clientco would have to provide free booze!

Who is going to use them now?

Removing Uber drivers would be much better.

From the Labour day holidays immediately after the travel restrictions were reduced there?

Methinks you’re invested in a particular outcome. Are you heavily invested in oil?

not yet

It looks very promising in Bejing.

But will the trend reverse? Difficult to say how the pushes and pulls will aggregate. There could be a major pull away from all forms of travel from increased home working, for example.

That's fine that means the demand for cars goes back to pre-pandemic levels, and probably beyond as the growth in cars was a longterm trend before. The pain barrier will be raised as commuters avoid the train.

It's debatable whether this will be a longer term trend, at least in and around large cities which have high numbers of public transport commuters. It wouldn't take much of an increase in car journeys from post pandemic levels to bring traffic congestion to the point where people won't want to drive if they have to spend 2-3 hours a day in the car.
