    Electric cars are a type of vehicle. Public transit is a type of transportation system that include many different types of vehicles and can include electric cars.

    You’re comparing apples to orchards.

      They aren’t doing that, you are. The apples to apples comparison that they are making is our current transit system; with the cars being fully electrified but otherwise as it exists today; versus a transit system that prioritizes mass transit (and walking and biking) over personal vehicles.

      Electric cars are a solution to save the auto industry, not the climate.

        Maybe in your bubble it’s common parlance that “electric cars” = “electrifying mass private vehicle infrastructure”, but from the outside, that’s not a straightforward interpretation.

          I’m just letting you know the most good faith interpretation of this post, in case you missed it. I’m not interested in arguing about “common parlance”
