> Traffic jams are an extremely variable issue Variable? A single line of rail moves more people per hour that 6 lanes of highway - that's just physics. Average speed of London traffic is 10 km/h while the new Elizabeth Line wooshes past at 90 km/h. It can cross London before your car gets 1/3 of the way. A crowded train still moves at 90 km/h. Your car in a jam is personally comfortable (unless you need to take a piss), but doesnt move anywhere. The idea that cars are comparable to public transport in situations of gridlock is preposterous.
