    Improve public transportation with good lines and timetable. People will use them.

        Most American cities aren’t built around the idea of taking public transit or even walking to your destination. There’s a few that do it fairly well like Boston but there’s also the issue that lots of people live in suburbs which require people to own cars to get to work.

      I don’t think that someone who owns a 80k pickup truck that he can’t afford is just waiting for that new tram line to use.

        I expect you’re not wrong.

        But in my mind, the real goal is to get people used to public transportation being an actually viable option before they get an over priced truck. Get them used to living without a car bill and then watch them never get a car because of how much it’d cost in car bills, ya know?

      agreed. thankfully my city’s been doing expansions of the rail transit system, but we’ve got a lot of ground to cover still
