I guess my point was “the trucks doing the last mile delivery aren’t going anywhere”, contrary to the parent’s claim that trucks are unnecessary and that rail will handle the last mile. I fully expect trucks will get smaller if only because no one is going to use an 18-wheeler to transport goods between a rail depot and a supermarket a mile or so down the street.
- williamscales 4y agoI don’t think rail will handle the last mile in all cases, but I also don’t think the last mile requires trucks. It’s the last mile. There are so many options besides semi trucks. It’s worth looking at Switzerland where they have many electric spur lines that do handle the last mile.
