Hahahaha public transit.

Have you looked at the energy/environmental costs of trains or busses?

Hint: they both consume the same energy fully loaded or empty, as a start.

And train infrastructure is a massive user of concrete, steel, copper, etc.

Per capita it's insanely lower than the personal cost alternative.

Why would you measure per capita? Not everyone will use it. How about per passenger?

[–] franklin 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Per capita it's typically for unit of service used.

Electric cars do not offset enough greenhouse to be sustainable, either cities adapt to public transit or we die.
