Oh come on, small cars are quite available in the EU. The issue is cars in general are too expensive, which is how it should be.

Now which is your stance, quite affordable or too expensive?

I'd prefer to not end up on the extreme opposite of car-dependence, where you don't have a choice; either have a public line or cycling is the best you got.

Public transport should be the first but not the only choice.

Public transit should be the first option and biking the second. Cars should not be an option except for rural areas, where they should be exclusively electric
