    Cars are incredibly inefficient at transporting people though, like you need a massive highway to transport the amount of people a train can transport, not to mention how much higher maintenance roads are compared to train tracks.

      Cars are incredibly inefficient at transporting groups of people long distances

      FTFY

      I’d love a legit train system to take me to locations across the state or country. But for running errands or local, day-to-day tasks, trains aren’t the answer.

        Of course! For running errands and local, day-to-day tasks the bicycle is of course the best vehicle :)

        I have taken the tram for whatever I need short distance so far, it’s also free and goes from like behind my apartment to pretty much anywhere I would wanna go, including work. If I wanna visit my parents then yea, I take the train but I haven’t needed a car in years.

      Inefficient but versatile. Hardly anyone has the same schedule or needs.

      I wouldn’t be able to do my job if I didn’t have access to a personal vehicle, I have gear and tools I have to transport around town every day.

      If all cars became autonomous there would no longer be traffic, it’d be similar to train cars in that they are linked together with no disruption in progress due to other cars/drivers.
