Hey, if I lived in the city centre and worked a few blocks a way, I too would probably want to hate on the car. Same people get families, move out of the centre, get car, regret they voted for politicians who put in place huge tolls on roads.
- jopsen 8y agoYeah, for starters the right fix is probably to make public transit free. Just reducing traffic would payoff in terms of less wear and tear on the roads, and less need to expand the roads. And with any luck, free public transit would help poor people the most. Allowing more people to find work.
- hkon 8y agoOk, so the ones with jobs should pay for those without a job? I have a better solution, why not let the unemployed drive the busses without pay. Then they get to do something, I get free transportation. Win-win?
- jopsen 8y ago> Ok, so the ones with jobs should pay for those without a job? Yes. And if by some miracle we can help people get jobs, by making transportation cheaper then we call it a win-win. Note, even if public transit was free that wouldn't make everybody use it all the time. But it might reduce the number of cars on the road, and help a few people out of poverty.
