[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5636902, member: 24302"] You're kidding yourself. You think the wealthy are going to give up their private cars? Heck, they can't even give up their private jets when they fly to conferences on climate change. Can you imagine how many buses it'll take to run over every road on a regular basis to provide 340 million people with comfortable seating? I've talked about this before. You claimed that in Europe they have great buses now. I've experienced it. You walk to the nearest bus stop and wait in all kinds of weather. Hopefully the next bus will be soon and there will be an available seat. Then you slowly ride to the nearest stop to your destination. Might have to change buses. Then you get off and walk to where you want to be. In all kinds of weather. It's doable if you don't have mobility issues. And don't mind the cold and heat. If you're shopping for groceries there may not be enough room on the bus for your bags. Assuming you can carry them to the bus stop. I'm surprised you don't advocate for ebikes. But then you live in Canada where much of the year it would be too cold and icy. [/QUOTE]
