    I’m as liberal as it gets, but public transit that mimics private cars would absolutely be a game changer.

    I don’t see any contradiction. That’s an extremely liberal thing to say.

      It’s just that some people shit on cars, as though being in your own space / smell / music isn’t infinitely better than being packed in with a bunch of people.

      We can’t get change and adoption if the option you are offering is objectively worse.

        Hey man no one wants it as is now. Public transport with personal space is totally possible. As it is, it’s engineered to be cheap and space efficient for maximum passengers in minimum space, to maximise revenue. It doesn’t have to be that way!
