    To be fair electric cars are still cars. Fuck them.

      They really aren’t that much better for the planet compared to ICE and when compared to transit or active transport they really are the least effecient “green” option.

      Its not just about reducing carbon, we should be trying to reduce overall energy usage and focus on effecient systems.

      Everyone driving their electric SUV to park in a sea of pavement is not effecient land or energy use.

          You mean using same road cars would use for buses, while optionally removing extra lanes, is less green and cheap than building and maintaining 18-lane monstrosities in the middle of nowhere?

              18 lane monstrosities are connections between the dense cities/burbs.

              All those 18 lanes are built ONLY because of cars.

                  What? Cars per length? What is this unit of? Some wierd linear density? I’m saying that that 18-lane abominations are built only for no other reason than driving cars. You say that car infrastructure is cheap, especially in rural areas, but you seem to ignore(intentionally or not) most expensive and destructive part of it. Which happens to go through rural areas. Or you can name abomination that is purely within city limits?

                  And public transit just doesn’t need this abomination. Public transit works fine even with one lane per direction. Or track if we are talking about trains.
