@stux This also applies to mass transit. I've seen car commuters who appreciate it, but at one meeting I attended about adding tolls to an Interstate (Hiway) people were protesting and the only solution that would accept for how that money would be spent was widening the road. They could not comprehend that if we used the toll money to get people off of the road (mass transit, assisting car pooling, bike lanes) then their drives would be easier.

@stux Here in Montreal people complain when the electric bike racks get installed in parking spaces - like. come on, guys! There are at least 5 bike recharging spaces for every car space - that averages out to 4 fewer cars looking for parking spaces, so you actually end up with MORE car parking if you give up space to bikes! I do envy the minimal snow and relative flatness of the Netherlands for biking, though
