    Not everyone has such needs, city transport could basically get you anywhere, though yes, it’s slower.

    Perhaps we could get some better car rental, and just end up reducing traffic (those buses still need roads). I mean in similar way to bikes and electric scooters, but add chargers throughout the city and do the same with EVs.

      If you’ve ever tried to drive across London (UK)… it takes 1 hour to get across the city by tube. 2 hours by car. Transit isn’t always slow!

      The new REM in Montreal can go highway speeds, too, and usually crosses the bridge faster than the cars especially during peak times.
