If I can agree that building tunnels for public transport may be a good idea, building tunnels to encourage people to use their car doesn't sounds like it's taking humanity in the right direction.
I'd rather see disruption to encourage people to use their bicycle and walking. Granted American cities aren't build for that but it's never too late.

- alex_duf 10y agothat means changing the design of our cities, and ensure that people who can't use cycling or walking can make use of public transport and / or individual cars if necessary. The vast majority of people could live in a situation where individual transportation isn't necessary. In fact, cities like London are showing it's possible, simply by making cars unaffordable.
