You shop on a train ride? Don’t know about you, but I bring home more than 4 humans can carry.
We obviously need train service between metro areas, and train service within large areas. But America is wired for individual transportation. Undoing that has a monstrous energy impact to consider, better, but it ain’t free.
I grocery shop basically every other day, means I only need a single bag at a time. I also happen to live across the street from the grocery store.
This idea that groceries need to be bought in 18wheeler quantities sucks, but is because America can’t fathom being closer than 10 miles to any shopping.
I can’t take a train almost anywhere I drive. Think they’ll open a spur to:
And can I bring a truck bed full of kayaks and gear? Oh, I also haul home shitloads of trash I find. Is that allowed on trains?
Trains are the best for moving a human body, carrying nothing, from one population center to another. And that’s it.
Not in a robotaxi
Not with that attitude
I get your point, but your being a useless ass about it.
For us that do outdoor sports we still will.need a car, but not having to use it to commute to work or go grocery shopping would be a wonderful thing
Also the better transit is the fewer people you have to shard the road with when you do need to use your car.
It’s not all or nothing.
