which is great if you have access to public transit not that welcome if you live in a small rural town.. Or Farm..
shifting to P&R may be pending..

Going car light would be a solution that reduces fuel consumption. Indeed I think the Yellow Vest issues are more about politics than transportation, though. At best, they are about the transportation politics of being a driving worker who has to pay higher taxes than other workers who don't rely on driving for their work. I think the assumption is that they have no other choice to make money but to drive, so they can't choose to drive less and use less fuel.
