Hiring not owning might be one answer

No great city in the world is saying, "let's bring in more cars". Congested cities everywhere else are rethinking road space and the number of cars they allow into them.

Other international cities have tackled the car problem with congestion taxes, reduced parking, taxing carparks, turning more roads into shared green spaces, more urban cycle routes, even small vans instead of buses.

But smart cities and governments are actively encouraging new modes of mobility - like car share, bike share or ride share.Auckland Transport research showed when people gave up their own car, they walked, biked and used public transport more, and the money saved on car ownership was spent locally.

Cars are not only ruining productivity but they are impacting on us socially and environmentally. It's time for Auckland to become a more mature city, and that means more of us need to become "#onecarless".
