Evacuating without them is even more of a bottleneck.
Not really, you can fit a lot more people away through other means
In emergencies you see buses and planes used
Sure, you can fit more people into buses, but most places don't have enough buses to evacuate entire cities.
Planes are just a joke for mass evacuation.
Planes! Cool, your 20 or so planes evacuated 8000 people.
Your 100 busses evacuated at best 6000 people
That's 14.000. What about the rest of the, say, 150,000 left for any moderately sized city?
Honestly, if I were in real danger, I'd bike the fuxk out of there, would still be faster than by car
That's why humans invented planning.
