To clarify, I find your reply unhelpful, because you explain the logical course of action for an individual to make the most of the current sorry state of western transport. US transport, to be specific.
And in reply to something obviously rheotorical.
Your answer is not even close to the most efficient solution to transport we might come up with as a society.
Meanwhime I am commenting about that hopelly improved future, where owning a car in the first place is no longer a choice made for you.
Where you can head out, and get to any point on the map for a reasonable cost, in a timely manner, while owning nothing more than the clothes you'd be wearing.
I literally live in a country where that is how it works. It's possible.
And I live in a country which As a Society just decided, by popular vote, to elect someone with the explicit goal of devolving what little remains of our sorry little public transport, and which promises a fight for our communities to hold one to what little we can, so yes, I gave an individual answer, because as a Society the answer is demonstrably“Drill baby, Drill” and “climate change is a hoax”.
