La soluzione al #traffico era già nota nel 1927

In un manifesto dell'azienda di trasporto di Wichita Falls, si chiede di dare priorità al trasporto di massa, perché molto più efficiente: in un #tram possono sedersi comodamente le persone portate da ben 28 #auto (con 2 persone per auto, stima ottimistica).

100 anni fa era già tutto li: problema e soluzione

Most on the main road in my area is one person. How many times have I missed the bus and had to wait 20 mins for the next one, because I can't cross the road to the stop, because 4 people need to get by in their cars.

Or your bus is late because impatient drivers won't let it merge back into traffic, and it doesn't get signal priority so 20 people on a bus could be wating at a red just to let 4 cars make a left turn. Since these factors slow the bus down, people find other ways like getting a car, and then the bus doesn't get used and the city can't fix it by just throwing money at.

Bring back dedicated transit lanes and transit priority. Lets make transit faster than driving because it really should be.

Transit wins even if it's only slightly slower than driving since it's cheaper, more relaxing, can be used by children and blind people and can bring you directly downtown without needing to park.

We have bus lanes here. But during a tube strike, my bus was stuck at a traffic light for about 20 minutes, I'm not exaggerating. This was central London, and yes, it was all because of the cars clogging up the roads.

I'm a fan of the overhead railways that have gone out of fashion. A few places still have/use them afaik, but I don't think any area has put in a similar train/trolly system in decades.

By moving the tracks away from the road entirely, car people can have their ever important streets (/s) and everyone else can continue unimpeded by vehicles.

I mean, I'd rather have it so that we just replace roads in cities with public transit like LRT, but there's just too many drivers that wouldn't agree with the proposal and so it would never pass.
