What?
Nearly every city already has public transportation, mostly buses, though more light rail/streetcar lines are built year by year. I know that very, very small towns (e.g. of the size you can walk across in 20 minutes) often have no bus system, but of course one isn't needed when the town is small enough.
No one's restricting your freedom by building public transportation, either. I have no idea where you're getting any of this stuff.
I know of no US city that's looking at an auto ban in the city core, not like some European cities have done. If you do, I'd love to hear more.
I can't even make sense of the the last paragraph you wrote, "if self-driving cars don't happen, give up your public transportation dreams"? Public transportation already exists, and self-driving cars are decades off from being available to the general public.
- jerf 11y ago"Nearly every city already has public transportation, mostly buses," Oh, well, then, problem solved. Why are we even having this conversation, then? Obviously, because you want more than we currently have, in a rather staggering quantity. You can't both have enough and want much, much more whenever it suits you in the argument.
- Frondo 11y agoOriginal post said "If you had good car infrastructure, and many medium sized cities do, the public transportion wouldn't be needed." That is not true. Public transportation will always play a role. You were the one who brought up freedom??
