What would be a solution to the ever increasing delivery industry? (lemm.ee)

So I often come here, even though I oppose the idea of saying "fuck cars". And yes, I do know it's not completely literal. However, I understand the logic.

With that being said, many people are using cars to be delivery contractors. It's not a necessary utility, but it is useful and is used by the vast majority of (I'll assume) 1st world countries. If vehicle use is reduced, what do you think would be a good strategy to keep this industry going? Yes, bicycles can still be used, but it would take more time, which would raise prices (capitalism). And another obvious solution would be to just do away with it and just go to restaurants. Do you have any opinions beyond those two that solutions I've already presented?

Wow, I always romanticized France as having cool scooters everywhere. Guess I was wrong. lol

I didn't ask about romaticization. I asked about personally logical solutions. Romance is not logical

I realize that. I was merely noting that I'm surprised that there aren't more scooters there. I was under the wrong impression that there were.

I thought the stereotype was Rome and vespas. I haven't been to Europe since I was a small child, though.
