I'm a huge proponent of building more rail of all kinds, but in the end we have to accept that traditional public transit options can only solve part of the problem. For the low and medium density parts of this country we should leverage the infrastructure we already have, which is a comprehensive road system. Automated shuttles and taxis remove the most expensive and dangerous part of driving - the human driver - and they already have all the infrastructure they require. I see it as only a matter of time before automated transit services on public roads outnumber individual drivers.
