The state is doing a lot on all three of these fronts. Public transport is hard because construction costs are absurdly high in areas of high density, there aren’t enough people in areas with low density, and asinine restrictive zoning prevents increasing density over time. But it is happening. In the meantime, people love their cars, and will continue to drive them. Banning cars entirely would disproportionately affect folks who have to commute long distances to afford housing, not great. So might as well mandate that the fleet turn over to something less harmful to the planet’s ability to support our way of life.
