  And yet, still faster. That's the paradox of cars.

    Cars are very much not faster than trams in high traffic conditions. Nevermind heavy rail.

      Yes, they are. Do an experiment, drop ten points randomly on a city map. Then plot routes between them, using Google for transit and cars. For most cities, cars will be about 2-3x faster. For three simple reasons: no walking, no waiting, no stopping. And that's the paradox. Cars are better than transit, yet modern cities are hell-bent on destroying the car infrastructure.
