Sure. But 1: any successful public transport solution must be be desirable by individuals. The alternative is to force people to use the system - that would not be democratic freedom! 2: any public transport has to be better than what we currently have. Cars are pretty damn good - even though they have downsides they also have some very valuable upside features! Most public transport currently has huge negative problems. It can work in large cities, but buses fail abysmally in my own city (~400000) even though expensive subsidies pay for most of it. Chesterton's fence - we have evolved to cars because they have features that are hard to replicate. I would like to see an Uber like shared transport on-demand system developed and deployed in my city. I did read about a city (I think in a scandy country) that has a working 24 hour system.
