I would love to have functional public transit across the US, but unless your goal is to entirely eliminate all rural life–which would include farms–you’re never going to be able to eliminate cars. I live near Atlanta; public transit there is abysmal. Building an elevated light rail system, and creating dedicated bus lanes throughout metro Atlanta would make the city much easier to navigate. But when I say near ATL, I mean that it takes about 90 minutes to get to the center with zero traffic. There’s simply not enough people to make buses viable in my town (there’s only one traffic light!), much less light rail.
Indeed. It’s just not possible.
