We should really be investing more in public transit, it's way better than electric cars and could be way more convenient if implemented properly
It all starts with fixing the zoning code. Cars will always be "more convenient" if we keep destroying our cities to make space catering to them.
Design a city around electric wheelchairs and you’ll have a system accessible to everyone.
Conveyor belts everywhere ♥️ no need for electric wheelchairs.
What about people with a fear of wheelchairs?
Checkmate atheists!
Dunno of you're being sardonic, but that would actually be smart.
Go start a public transport company. If you're right the market will reward you :)
Market forces don't work for every industry. Car transportation included, think how roads exist.
Yeah I just- put that in another comment. Made a funny crack about privatising roads to incorporate the true cost of infrastructure with tolls lol. Might incentivize more people to use transit.
Im just gonna ignore the overall stupidity of going "The market will solve it" and instead point out the fact that a public transit company would almost definitionally be under the umbrella of the government. Private transit company is the term youre looking for.
