Why doesn't this apply to public transport too? Is there no point running more buses or trains because they'd just fill up again? And shouldn't this mean all roads should be packed all the time, rather than having many which are always fairly quiet, even in rush hour?
- Arainach 3y agoThe capacity and throughout of public transit is dramatically higher and scales far better, so it's harder to hit limits and cheaper to scale them up. Yes, it's technically affected - both in the "if you build it they will come" sense and that if transit becomes sufficiently congested people will change their transportation behavior - but cars have more liquidity and hit traffic limits much easier.
