Barcelona has very good public transport, so in most cases you don’t really need a car or scooter. Motorcycles and scooters are extremely loud, especially at all hours of the day and night, and they are by far the noisiest way to get around the city.

If someone can’t afford a car, which is significantly quieter, they can still use public transport, walk, or use the city’s subsidized electric scooters. I don’t understand why diesel scooters are still so common.

I just don’t see a good reason why residents should have to tolerate this constant level of noise on busy streets.
