I thought building more lanes does not work. So why would building more lines work. Soon there will be induced demand and they will be even fuller.

- daveliepmann 1y agoBecause rail infra scales really well, bus infra scales well, and bike infra scales well -- while car infra scales disastrously.
- bluGill 1y agoBuilding more lanes does work - but people misunderstand induced demand. Really induced demand should be called fixing suppressed demand. If you get induced demand it means you need a lot more lanes. We can't afford the 50 layers of highway bridges needed to build enough lanes, but transit is a lot more space efficient and so we could afford it.
