As soon as mankind hitched a cart up to an animal, we saw the benefits of quick and convenient individual and personal modes of transportation ... we're not about to let that go.
A small number will continue to opt for walking, cycling and public transportation as their only or main method of transportation.
A slightly larger number will use those methods of transportation on occasion.
But most will continue to go for the quick and convenient individual and personal modes of transportation.
