Consumer demand is one thing that drives change.
Having worked for some big corporations, I must say, this is a fallacy.
Only policy drives change, nothing else.
People/humans will not give up being comfortable because 'it is the right thing to do'. Its sad but they need to be told/forced to do the right thing.

Hi Colm, I already said that the target of my comments here is not just the OP, but the normalisation of using large, harmful, unnecessary vehicles to transport very small amounts of people and kit fairly short distances. It should not be easy to park, it should be easy to get the train. I'm happy to see loads of people sharing experiences and advice on how to move bikes by train. Consumer demand is one thing that drives change.
Freeing up the obscene amount of space devoted to storing cars would go some way to alleviating the housing crisis, and high density housing is cheaper, not more expensive. We have more green spaces than (almost?) any city in Europe and they are mostly protected from development.
