ISTR a recent estimate of 1.2 billion vehicles on the world's roads, 95% of which would be "light duty vehicles" (passenger cars, light trucks & vans - can't remember whether that definition included busses).How many is that in Cars?

Just one less stop before clogging the roads on the commute, at least it seems that way here. Crewe Road hasn't changed a lot in terms of congestion over the grandes vacances. I think it's possibly more significant that working parents will take time off, and so won't be travelling to work.95% of them doing the school run, and disappear into another dimension during the school holidays.
Any car, I just dislike driving.I learned a long time ago that I was fed up with driving and not fed up with the car I was driving. I have owned and driven in excess of 5,000 cars since I started driving so that could well effect my feeling towards the metal box.
Be glad China doesn't have US levels of car ownership - that would be ~1 billion right there (currently ~240 million cars & light trucks, and rising)Not as many as I thought.

I didn't realise you could hire cars quite as cheaply as that.The op pretty much sums up my feeling. The I went car less about a year ago. I did hire a car for a day a couple of months ago for a about £10 to take my aged mother to see my brother who is ill.
I was surprised. It was a brand new Ford Fiesta 5 door, automatic from a company called Green Motion which I found on money supermarket.I didn't realise you could hire cars quite as cheaply as that.
