well, you certainly can get some work done on a train once you figured out your commute in a way that will get you a seat. Grande, that is not an option for any

well, you certainly can get some work done on a train once you figured out your commute in a way that will get you a seat. Grande, that is not an option for anyone. On the other hand, what would the world look if we all used autonomous cars? Seems like we would end up with the same, or worse, traffic jams. If people were willing to share their cars, they would be a bit less. But remember any means of public transport uses less space than cars. http://humantransit.org/2012/09/the-photo-that-explains-almost-everything.html http://humantransit.org/2012/09/the-photo-that-explains-almo...

> But remember any means of public transport uses less space than cars I think this is indicative of the PR problem that transit advocates have and that the GP is trying to point out: the advocates keep focusing on moving people from point A to point B. Transit advocacy always seems to be about X thousand passengers per hour and saving Y thousand square feet of real estate. Quality of life of those passengers doesn't get a mention. Granted, creature comforts may not be all that high on everyone's priority lists, but I'm confident they are for many, especially as they get to middle age and have the financial means to vote with their wallets.
