Trains, trams, microcars & bikes replacing most road vehicles and biofuels for the remaining ones would be much better overall.

  Trains are fine but cannot replace cars.

    Not completely, just the vast majority. Especially for freight.

      It does seem far from where we are now. However, if someone wants to build trains (without me paying for it in taxes), I will happily buy a ticket if it is convenient and cost effective for me to use.

    For 30% of the population they could completely replace cars. For another 50% they could let you go from being a 2-3 car family to a 1 car family (more likely a truck - either to haul tools, or to tow the boat) Of course to replace cars much a comprehensive network that would be expensive to build in the short run. (in the long run cheaper than the road network which would need many less lanes)

  >biofuels Absolutely not. The land use impacts are enormous.
