You must be kidding that Munich comes 5th. Public transport is unreliable (especially the S-Bahn) and the ring road is gridlocked most of the day. Also, the traffic lights for cross-city routes are timed so that you get a series of red, no "green wave". Munich hates car drivers, but its public transportation infrastructure is woefully inadequate. Examples: * The S7 line - so bad that Deutsche Bahn won't even publish its performance statistics * Park and ride at the end of U-bahn lines, like in Fürstenried West, is often full by 9am * In Berlin, a day ticket for public transport costs up to EUR 11.40. In Munich, it's EUR 15.50. * In Munich, major roads into the city have been reduced to a single lane (Landsbergerstr., Leopoldstr., etc)

I laughed out loud when San Francisco appeared. The sole focus on autonomous vehicles and glaring omission of woefully lacking public transit commitments and sprawl culture make me question the validity of the report and results for the other cities. What a joke.

Oeps, no Belgian city involved in the Shortlist (!) Even when 5 cities in the current shortlist of 65 have fewer habitants then our tiny regional city of Antwerp 🐧 I asked Chat GPT to rank a selection of cities on car registration per habitant ;-) Here are the cities ranked by the number of registered cars per inhabitant: 1>Antwerp: 0.660 cars per inhabitant 2>Nuremberg: 0.654 cars per inhabitant 3>Munich: 0.533 cars per inhabitant 4> Brussels: 0.467 cars per inhabitant Antwerp has the highest ratio of cars per inhabitant, followed closely by Nuremberg, with Munich and Brussels having lower ratios.

I guess car-free Venice isn't in the list 😄

WEF and their elitist agenda use this type of information to get support from the masses. They are grifters and they line their pockets while not changing their lifestyles. They fly in private jets with huge gatherings and entourages in tow and advocate that the population eat bugs, own nothing and be happy. Wake up sheeple. Klaus and Company are evil.

Why not BRUSSELS in Belgium? For me the city with the best public transportation system.

It's inspiring to see cities leading the charge towards sustainable mobility! 🌍🚗 The collaboration between public and private sectors is crucial for reducing the carbon footprint of urban transport. #SustainableWeave is excited to witness these advancements for a greener future. #UrbanTransport #Mobility #EVs

I am totally missing Zurich. Great public transport infrastructure, all busses, trains, boats through one app and one ticket. And city to city connections are great and very frequent.

Pshaw. What nonsense. It depends on where you have to get to fro home to shopping and work. Madrid is perfect if you live in town, can certainly walk most anywhere and public transport is excellent. If you live outside the centre (or need to go outside) then you need a car. Complicated vast cities like London or Paris? Rely on public transport? You must be kidding!
