sometimes it's plant & tram
Needs more bicycles
The infra is still a bit lacking but when I visited I found the drivers to be surprisingly decent with bikes & peds.
Great for the Yak & Yeti. Devastating for the Samrana.

I’m def not a “I love cars” kind of person, but a heated and protected pod to transport me, my family and friends, my belongings and anything I purchase is a necessity. Can’t just “pop to the grocery” every day or two in winter conditions even if I didn’t live miles away from any viable store with food.
