I'm of the opinion that people don't like public transit because we half fund it. So they look at it and are like, "no, why would I want more like that?"
But like, a cleaner, faster, more frequent, less crowded transit? Yes please!
Cities like Oslo, Philadelphia, Boulder, and Seattle are experiencing huge transit changes right now and seeing major increases in bike and transit ridership. Boulder, in particular, dramatically reduced single occupancy transportation.
- Tade0 4y agoMore frequent is usually quite the problem because while the vehicles are just a matter of cost, the staff isn't. Driving any large vehicle is a stressful job and there's always a shortage of people willing to do it. Of course this implies that the larger the vehicle the better, so rail comes to mind, but that it turn requires infrastructure. Overall it's a hard problem to solve. Then how did the Europeans manage to do it? They had to. There's literally no other option for a region that doesn't have abundant oil resources.
