Thanks for this insightful article. It reminded me to an extent on the 1€/day ticket for all means of public transport in Vienna and of the 1000€/year ticket for all public means of transport in Austria. That is very close to universal basic mobility. Whether it does bring down individual car usage remains to be seen.

On a larger context personal mobility has to be addressed by making a few steps back from the status quo based on individual car ownership: urban planning for people first, as you say.
