You seem to be talking about infinite resources here. "Keep public
transport the way it is, just spend lots more on roads". Well, there aren't
infinite resources, and making public transport work and a better
option for people (none of this "dig up the city so you can't drive in it"
crap, that's just idiocy) makes more sense than spending more on
private transport and forgetting public transport. Because if you
forget public transport, those 1000 people being ferried into the city
on ?6? railway lines every 3 minutes for the peak 2 hours would all
be blocking _you_ in a single car per person each morning ...
