Everyone wastes effort arguing about the scale at which different strategies can succeed, losing sight of the need for answers at every scale. I’m tired of people saying rail will never work because people also live in lower population areas, and now I don’t want to hear that car-like transit won’t work because people also live in cities. We need both. We need options for cities and suburbs and towns, and even rural areas, and they won’t be the same answer
I personally feel that you can push people to public transit via 2 methods.
You make non public transit transportation very expensive
You make public transportation actually better than driving yourself.
Option 1,you’ll have resistance all the way, plus it kind of sucks that in 2023, for all the effort the working class has made we’re being asked to pack in while the rich will continue to use personal transportation. They’ll get all the benefits while we are making the sacrifice.
Option 2, would be the best because you tax the rich HARD to build public transport with private compartments. Push the cost to the rich and reward the working class, not the other way around.
