Continuing to encourage car usage will not solve environmental problems. Governments should invest in infrastructure to avoid one person in a car during peak hours. This suboptimal commute pattern is a major contributor to not only green house gases but also traffic congestion and reduced quality of life as a result. One unexplored option is to build freeway bus services - build pickup and parking lots near freeway exits and reserve diamond lanes exclusively for commuter buses. Unlike trains this can reuse existing infrastructure and works well with company shuttles and the like.
