That's how a proper public transport network works too. For example in London, when I want to go somewhere, I just whip out an app that plans for me the best combination of busses/subway/train/walking to accomplish that and I'm immediately on the go. The wait times are minimal (under 2-5 minutes) most of the time.
- cryptarch 10y agoThat's only economical in very dense urban areas, though. I live in the Netherlands which is a very densely populated country, and anywhere outside the city center or early/late on the day, the busses go every 30 minutes or hourly. At night there are barely any options, esp. between 2 and 6 AM.
- aaron-lebo 10y agoSure, but in areas that aren't densely populated, you don't have the same traffic problems, so why do you need it?
- cryptarch 10y ago>> The only scalable transit solution is mass public transit. This is the idea I was responding to. I think cars are mostly practical in suburbs and rural areas (I live in a city and basically only bike and walk), mass transit isn't the best solution for all personal transit.
