We only have to convince people to hate one more car than they already despise.

    I apologize, I must have unpacked my own personal assumptions in what doesn’t work means.

    My point remains that the total cost of transit of the presented option iis the the exact same as personal cars. Therefore it is economically viable.

    It’s not politically viable because people want cars. That’s what stops it in practice. I’m trying to highlight how much people wanting cars fucks all transit equations. 5 car hours is one bus hour.

    I’m in full agreement of unfucking zoning laws, parking minimums, and traffic service standard definitions.

    We’re absolutely in agreement, I just think suburban (even rural) transit can work. We just need to ban the cars and recapture those costs as transit.
