"The Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis distinguishes especially two social factors that very much determine car mobility, now and in the future: individualization and intensification. Individualization leads, among other things, to a decrease in the number of members per family and more women working - two developments that stimulate mobility. Intensification can often mean combining tasks and activities. This leads to, among other things, what are known as journey chains (e.g. consecutive journeys from home, to day nursery, to work, to the shops). The car makes it possible to complete such a chain within a short period of time." source: SWOV "De invloed van sociale en culturele factoren op mobiliteit en verkeersveiligheid", 2005
