And for what? just not to drive? to have more 20min available to check your Twitter stream?

Really? millions and millions of chinese people moved to massive urban areas and the first thing they buy when they earn some money is a car or a motorcycle, making China the biggest auto market in the world around 2010/11. Pretty much the same pattern with the "BRIC"s
