Nope. Because cars _save_ _time_.

Car commutes are shorter than transit commutes in well-designed cities.

But even otherwise, you don't need a dedicated full-time driver.

> cars _save_ _time_ Cars only save time if there aren't very many of them. Look at Northern Virginia, at 3 A.M you can drive 10 miles in 10 minutes because the roads are direct and have high speed limits, but that same drive would take close to an hour during the day.
What do you consider to be a well designed city?
