It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

You know, I was thinking that the vans having more capacity and greater speed would mean they're hard to replace. But then I also just remembered that our local postal service does use bicycles and small scooters for their last mile deliveries. I can't remember what my postman uses though. XD
The freelancers who do deliveries for the ecommerce sites however, are likely to be sticking to vans or bigger vehicles, since having that capacity and speed is the only way to get a living wage out of what they do.
