Heard one honk over the course of a week in Belgium, and this included time in Brussels, which is a bit car-centric by European standards. Landed back in NYC today, exited Terminal 4 at JFK and was immediately struck by all the honking. Truly fucked up.
Kind of hard not to notice the exhaust, too, especially on a hot and humid day. Too bad there's no plan to reduce cars ready to be tried out somewhere in the city.
This is one of my favorite ideas! Yours is even stricter than mine, which was that cars come loaded with 100 honks and that refills cost $500. I like how strict your solution is.
you'll be glad (?) to know that people honk vigorously in the immediate vicinity of the munich train station
in all seriousness it was brutally depressing to be in notably car-centric outlier munich and still note how so overwhelmingly much better biking and transit are OH WELL
I was keeping an informal list of all the things that worked swell there that I have heard people say are impossible here. Probably not healthy of me, all in all.
When I lived in NY, each family member mentioned the honking on their first visit.
Also, about once a day we saw an example of absolute looney-tunes driving that would have been a tell-your-friends story if we’d seen it back home.
