  • You’re not going to get an option to take the subway from your farm to the local Walmart.

    Yes, i completely understand this scenario and I would certainly not say to build a subway all the way to my farm.

    The problem is the last half century of building out cities and population growth only considering cars.

    This is the exact issue that I want society to understand.

    Transportation should have a hierarchy.

    • Commonly used routes: Subway
    • Busy/dense population route with medium distance: Bus
    • Short distance to common transport pickup point or places of attraction: cycle/small vehicle, preferably electric/mechanical
    • Special vehicles for senior citizens/differently-abled: Haven’t thought about this much but there should be something

    There should be parking areas near the city periphery/big transportation hub so that people coming from the suburbs can park their car and use the public transport. This reduces pollution and heat in the center of the city. If you show you used public transport, parking should be subsidized or free.
