    other countries deliver most things using motorbikes, it always sounded ridiculous to me to use a car to deliver food

      OOP has no idea what they’re talking about, in NYC too all food deliveries come by bike, and in the large majority of cases it’s an ebike

      Nicer in the winter to use a car. And depending on the type of service, these might otherwise be used as personal cars

        Your personal car doesn’t make 50 deliveries in a day though, so that equation won’t work out.

          ?? I’m talking about the delivery people owning those cars and using them as personal cars after work, so they’re not being bought just for deliveries

      its also expensive, if you calculate the maintenance /insurance and gas into your vehicles. thats why there isnt more deliveries services for instore shopping outside of a few.

      To be fair, most drivers have multiple ongoing deliveries (and space for them). So it’s not quite one car per burrito
