Then you'd have a lot more cars stopping in front of you. Next time you pass a bus, look at all the people inside, and then imagine each of them, on the same block, in their private cars.

- charcircuit 2y ago>on the same block Except in reality this wouldn't be the case if people didn't use the bus.
- mmooss 2y agoNo? What would be the case? Based on what? One explicit, primary goal of public transit is to move lots of people around in the limited space on a city street.
- charcircuit 2y agoBased on the fact that cars are not linked together like a train. Cars can go different routes from one another and can go to different destinations. This spreads them out more over them all being in the same place.
- mmooss 1y agoSo some people on the bus in front of you would drive cars on other streets, and some people on buses on other streets will drive cars on your street; there's no reason your street will have a net benefit. That's especially true because there will be far more cars on the road.
