Anyway, the greatest single obstacle to vastly reducing car journeys in an urban environment is the poor quality of public transport and the fact people don't feel safe cycling (probably rightly).

I realise this is going to be an unpopular position, but I actually think the public transport system in London is pretty good. Remarkable in fact.
I think that is fair comment. But it isn't good enough to replace all car journeys for people who don't feel safe cycling, which is what we need.
It is, but it gets considerably shitter if you can't do stairs.
