Why do so many countries invest heavily in car-centric infrastructure and completely abandon public transit? Isn't transportation technically a solved problem already, with politics being the main obstacle?
Sure, small populations in hard to reach places will still need to use cars but that's like what, 10% of all people? (at least in the EU)
- MisterSandman 4y agoPublic Transportation still has many issues, with the largest being it doesn't make enough money for the rich.
- blitzar 4y ago> largest being it doesn't make enough money for the rich Perhaps you have not been to one of the handfull of major metropolis in the world, where day in and day out worker drones get onto public transport to go sit in a cubicle and generate the majority of the money going around in circles in the world. A tiny fraction of that money goes into their pocket and they get on the subway and ride and hour with it. The lions share gets chucked into the trunk of the bently for 4 blocks ride home for the rich.
