Simply & beautifully satirized by the "bro just one more lane bro, bro I swear just one more lane and it'll fix the traffic bro," meme from a few years ago. ht

  "One more lane" is so much easier to ridicule because of America, so thank you.

  I actually counted these two: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/417/129/282.png https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/417/129/282... If it's an average of 1.2 persons per car (which is the typical average) and counting roughly 1,200 cars on those images (in aggregate) it would take roughly 28-29 rail cars to transport this number of people. That's 3-5 trains worth. All that traffic could have been saved (in theory) by 3-5 trains. I don't imagine a train would serve all those people, but imagine the massive dent it would make to have good train systems between large population centers.
