Yeah public transport will have to be reinvented, what we have now will not be able to cope with such a massive change.
School buses here are all but gone, actually some kids go to school in a taxi pain for by tax money, but for the greater part i think kids find their own way in school, either walking or on cycle.
In my birth town the #2 largest town here, bus routes have been disrupted massive, lines have changed, even the numbers have changed.
My old neighborhood use to be served mainly by the number 4 route, but number 4 don't even get near to where i grew up, the route are still there but have another number now for some strange reason.
But to my old eyes it do look as if there are less of the big yellow buses in town, but we just gotten a light rail system instead that tie in the rural towns much better.
There are also talks about banning traffic in the town center, but it will probably end up like other EU towns banning older diesel cars ASO.
Just since 2009 there have been a increase in cars here by 17.5% there are 420 private cars here for every 1000 Danes, the average in EU are 500 private cars for every 1000 people.
number of cars here over the years. Mio cars / year
If you live downtown or in the greater part of Aarhus here i was born, a cycle are by far the smartest means of transport, even during none rush hour times of the day, and many Danes do also use the cycle much even if they also have a car.
The 1.8 million people in our capitol do about 500 million bicycle rides every year, most fairly short like 1 - 2 mi ,1 in 4 take a train in to town, then jump on a bicycle for the rest of the journey to work.
51% of all commutes in the capitol under 10 KM in length was made on bicycle, some hard core people will bicycle 20 - 30 km to and from work every day all year.
The 22 municipalities around the capitol have 28 main bicycle paths ( super cycle paths ) for a total length of 467 km ( 290 mi ), and that's just the main bicycle paths, add the regular ones and that number will be much larger.
Of course for Americans that cycle thing are a pretty new thing, and towns are generally not geared for it, here we Euro boys or many of us at least are leagues ahead.
