    I absolutely agree electric cars are a band-aid on a seeping wound. Public transit is the answer, the highways should have to give over a lane to rail traffic. The routes and customers for the train are already there.

    If you saw a train full of people blowing past the traffic you were stuck in, you would be on the train the next day.

    Shoutout to Notjustbikes on YouTube for the fantastic content about transit systems.
