They’re also a joke when it comes to moving large numbers of people. I can’t imagine the chaos if everyone leaving a concert at Wembley Stadium decided to leave by car.
- flerchin 1y agoYou wouldn't have to imagine it if you visited Dallas. AT&T stadium has roughly the same capacity as Wembley, and no public transit at all.
- tomrod 1y agoDallas would look very different if they emphasized public transport. Outside of downtown it is so sparse, many of the suburbs suffer from crumbling infrastructure because it turns out pipes made to last 30 years do poorly after 40 to 50 years when all the low density suburbs have aged out and there is no remaining land to subsidize the infrastructure ponzi scheme. Fort Worth is worse for this! Strongtowns is definitely worth a listen.
- _carbyau_ 1y agoAre they crap during peak hour traffic or mass public events? Sure are! They're not some miracle device. But people claiming that you can live a life without cars don't seem to realise the very many scenarios where cars are often easier and sometimes the only answer.
