No, just no. You obviously don't have experience with European infrastructure. Rush hour traffic on any German Autobahn will quickly tell you that adding more busses and cars is the worst idea here.
European roads are also impossible to build and maintain without subsidies but somehow nobody or at least very few people talk about that.
- panick21_ 5y agoA general problem with all these debates is that rail and road have for so long been deeply interlinked with states strategy and subsidies that any real cost comparison is almost impossible. We are using tunnels all over Switzerland that are built many decades ago. How to you take stuff like that into account? Sure we could just say 'lets wipe all infrastructure of Europe and start fresh, what the most efficient combination of things?' but that is a pointless exercise. People very lives have been shaped around existing infrastructure as well. Everything is interlinked to a crazy degree that makes finding and comparing solution challenging.
