Pretty Interesting. Anyone knows the economics of this today?
Or a related note, what happens is one can use light rail tracks in SF Bay area as extra car lanes? Does it help in any way? Lets say we have special cars which can run on rails when train is not coming.
- asabjorn 12y agoAdding extra car lanes will not solve the traffic problem in dense areas. See the pictures that compares public transit density with cars: http://www.humantransit.org/2012/09/the-photo-that-explains-almost-everything.html http://www.humantransit.org/2012/09/the-photo-that-explains-... Maybe if everyone car-pooled optimally and we prohibited not-pooling during rush we would not have this problem. My dream world would have more extensive subways in the bay area that runs 24hrs a day so that I can never drive again.
