Taxis could solve last mile problems fairly efficiently. Or maybe tuktuks, but there is a role for them, not the way they are used now though. They also make it easier to live without a car, so you use mass transit most of the time and have a flex to use personal transport when needed. As opposed to the sunk cost of a private car with parking. In China in 1999, I would take a tuktuk to the subway stop and then often from the subway stop on the other side of my trip. Later on when I lived there from 2007, I didn’t feel like I needed a car since we had subways and taxis, why bother?
