By “Automotive Industry”, I am referring to all the Service Industry relating to keeping cars on the road. Sales, Parts, Repairs, Fuel, Roadwork, Insurers.
Next time you drive though an industrial estate, look at all the business who rely on people maintaining and crashing their cars. All those inefficient little businesses would be either rendered obsolete or would become a little bit more niche.
Next time you drive through a Shopping Centre, you will notice at least one Supercheap, Repco and/or Autobarn. There will also be at least one Tyrefitter and probably a service centre too.
If everyone started using (much more efficient) public transport, all these wasteful businesses would no longer be needed and less money would be changing hands in the Private sector.
It'd be a gradual shift, not a shock change. Those businesses would gradually close rather than ask at one and the economy would chug on
