    No, that’s ass-backwards. You have to stop catering to drivers first in order to incite them to support building the transit. Politically, it does not, can not, and never will work the other way around.

    Your argument is nothing more than disingenuous support for the car-dependent status quo.

      The people who live remotely will still need to drive. No one is building transit out to one family’s homestead.

      And don’t forget all the bedroom communities that have sprouted up. New builds and town homes by the 100s, wrapped around a rural road, a convenient store, and a post office, surrounded by farmland and livestock.
