Ideally the commoners will stick to their local areas utilizing public transit or bikes/ebikes. Never leaving their town. While the ruling class and elites will continue commuting with their private jets and motorcades of ICE vehicles.

I mean trains exist. Where i live lots of people travel with then including between cities and abroad. So it's not like you're gonna be stuck.

Can you book me a train ride from San Francisco to Sydney? I'll pay you commission if you can pull it off.

Can you drive a car from san francisco to sydney? Very weird example since 99% would use public transportation (plane) nowadays. And that's not a trip you'd be doing often.

Also this is EU law, and neither San francisco nor Sydney are in europe.
