I also wanted to point out that this circles back to the climate change problem. Transportation is a huge chunk of pollution, and there’s no easy way to fix many of the environmental problems that come with it. The aforementioned overhaul of urban infrastructure would cost billions of dollars and possibly decades. Decades we don’t have in terms of fixing the climate crisis. Public transport is a great way to solve pollution problems, but it’s simply not designed efficiently enough for it to be a viable option for many commuters in terms of speed and efficiency. Because of this, people keep circling back to other means of transport like cars, which contribute significantly to many climate issues.

I know this is kinda all doom and gloom but thanks for hearing me out
