> What we need is a more flexible, on-demand model of public transport. Something like logistic bots in Factorio. Lots of small people-movers which go direct from point to point, on demand. Buses and trains were already obsoleted by cars and can only survive by targeted anti-car policy.
Why?? Cities like Berlin work perfectly fine with a massive public transport network, you get to almost anywhere in 30-45 minutes (except for the most far away places).
I don't need point-to-point on demand, I just need to be able to get into public transport in 5-10 minutes and get through the network to destination B in 30-45 minutes. That moves a lot of people efficiently, there's no need for this hyper-individualisation of transportation...
