I agree we need strong public transportation but there is still going to be a need for cars. I travel across state borders for my commute from a small town. Sure I could move, but then I’d have to likely pay way more for a house, taxes, groceries, etc, so unless the unlikely event they add a train that crosses state borders and connects small towns, some people will always have a need for a car unfortunately.
Also the public transport would likely take decades we don’t have to be everywhere meanwhile you can buy an electric car right now.
That being said I wish I had public transportation everywhere. I’d totally use it. I hate driving.
With high speed rail, your commute could be at the top speed of a sport bike, and without the slowdowns of traffic. The travel time would be more predictable, and you have your attention available for other things during the ride.
