              That's fine that means the demand for cars goes back to pre-pandemic levels, and probably beyond as the growth in cars was a longterm trend before. The pain barrier will be raised as commuters avoid the train.

                But will the trend reverse? Difficult to say how the pushes and pulls will aggregate. There could be a major pull away from all forms of travel from increased home working, for example.

                  It looks very promising in Bejing.

                    From the Labour day holidays immediately after the travel restrictions were reduced there?

                    Methinks you’re invested in a particular outcome. Are you heavily invested in oil?
