It may need to happen as we transition to ev’s. Corporations stop doing their job when they become unprofitable in a space. That is exactly what we want them to become.

Instead of wasting taxpayer funds trying to delay the inevitable, the state should do what it should have done a hundred years ago and invest in expanding public transport options.

The high speed rail project is awesome and should continue, but that doesn't help people who just need to get around town, or to the next town over.
