WTF. Mass transit is a great idea period. It works in numerous places around the world. Even if it doesn't run 24/7 or everywhere it runs most of the day and to many places. Meaning less cars and less need to "stack the highways"(!!!), meaning less space used for parking and roads and more space available for humans.
- rplst8 8y agoIt doesn't work for outlying areas. The further you get form a hub, the more varied the travel plans are. Express services work for connecting hubs. But it's the 30-60 mile out suburbs that are a challenge. Note, they are only a challenge if bureaucrats and big business continue to pour money into centralizing resources in giant cities. In a modern Internet connected economy, there is very little reason to colocate so many government services and large corporations.
