yeah no honestly it’s pretty fucking trivial: get a whole hell of a lot of buses (creating jobs) and just run them everywhere.
Every road project the US has built is bus infrastructure that just needs the cars removed from it, all those highways blasted through downtowns would enable extremely fast and convenient bus services.
It won’t be as good as proper railways, but holy fuck would it be so much better than what people have to live with now. Instead of highways clogged to a standstill with cars, it’ll be highways with a very excessive but manageable amount of buses.
Not having railways doesn’t mean you can’t have good public transport, it just means it’ll be more expensive to operate.
100% agree. Unfortunately, with the infrastructure in the US I don’t see us making a move to successfully public transit anytime soon.
ebikes.
