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’m as liberal as it gets, but public transit that mimics private cars would absolutely be a game changer.

I don't see any contradiction. That's an extremely liberal thing to say.

The problem is that PRT systems are never as good as proper rail. Show me a full scale system way out in the desert running simulated rush hour operations and maybe I'll consider it. Otherwise let's not waste our cash. No one with tour attitude would take transit under any circumstances anyways so there's no point appealing to them.

Yep. And if our ultra-capitalism system didn't turn masses to homelessness and the middle class to tired/poor; public transit could have been dope 😕🤔. They could have really made it amazing 😍🤩. But the ruling class cares more about.... other stuff.

I mean I imagine celebrates, super wealthy 🤑 people, gov Officials , cops and ETC, I imagine they don't ride the tubes / trains / subways ?

Sure, it just happens to be the most expensive option and thus least likely to actually get funded and he created a company specifically to derail (pun absolutely intended) public transit plans.

It's never the time or place until it is. I can almost guarantee 90% of your friends are likely just the weirdos that decided to start a conversation.

100% but that's another reason it's the worst option.

Yes the worst part of public transport is it being public..... You don't want public transport, you want private transport you don't have to think about or pay for.
