Long traffic jams like this Morning are just logical, if just commuting to work, driving to many car, the Alternatives would have.

a 30 minutes traffic jam. Three Quarters Of An Hour. An Hour! In the Radio traffic news on this Tuesday morning, the voices sound menacing after a disaster scenario. In the case of "Captain Montana live from the RTL-traffic center" for example, you might think the Russian would be 15 minutes in front of the Kurfürstendamm, such as the Udo Lindenberg has sung.

A big road block in the middle because of the Africa conference and the Work at the Rudolf-Wissel-bridge to the motorway in the city were supposed to be the reason. Fact Yes, is was: blocking and Work and there are – but the reason for the long queues, the queue in other many other days, are simply all those who are in traffic with the car on the road, without being dependent on it.

it Would be different, then saw you in these jams almost only small Transporter by craftsmen, the cart for Material and tool need, delivery trucks, care services, good at advertising print on the car to recognize a couple of people with a foreign license plate on the journey, people with a Handicap, and those only late in the evening from the Job back home to come, if public little to nothing moves.

but that is not So. Instead, cars line cars, they don't look after craftsmen, or delivery truck, but rather to alone drivers type: I want me in front of the door to the car, put In Pumps, I can not Cycling, or My SUV cost a lot, Pulibet I want to see.

Yes, Park-and-Ride spaces at railway stations are often full. But a hundred meters further there is also a car Park often makes the quiet step of one and a half minutes more to the S-Bahn Station or to the regional rail network. Yes, it may rain – but, there are umbrellas, and Outdoor clothes. And, Yes, the trains are often full, and the improvement is put last in spite of all the promise in the coalition agreement of the future the Brandenburg state government, but rather in a traffic jam than in the S-Bahn, but driving?

And the thing with the Pumps: In New York, for example, not just a fashion no man's land – see "The devil wears Prada", was observed decades ago women in the subway costume or Trouser suit with sneakers combined and in the office easy to counter-just in a cloth bag brought in Pumps exchanged. The same applies for a suit carrier out of the Radklamotten, into the Armani Outfit in the office locker. A sink, for Fresh there is anywhere, bit of Gel in your hair, finished the arbor.

to Whom this sounds all too much like presets and evil Dirigisme, which may drive further for the time being the car – but don't be a pity to be expected, and certainly not in road expansion. Sorry can one just do that need the car really – and all those cyclists who do not come into the congested city centre streets, then through

There's a simple new solutions are needed. Why not, for example, a lane on the city highway for craftsman Vans and commuter cars book with three or more people in it? Elsewhere seen, makes a car of three or four. It is questionable anyway, why in so many cars only one Person is sitting, if at the same time, the biggest fear in the climate crisis seems to be in front of higher gasoline prices.
