I think the problem is we can't exactly imagine what "better mass transit" is. I mean imagine if NYC's mass transit was more like AirTrain JFK (VERY bag friendly) than like the Lexington Ave line at rush hour. I think that if mass transit was improved to its highest potential then yeah even with baggage you could always make the argument for it above a cab.If we put all our eggs in mass transit, mass transit would be much different. Imagine if AirTrain had select key stops in all the CBDs -- Lower Manhattan, Midtown, Downtown Brooklyn. . .and more. The question is actually sort of moot, which is why communication in this thread here is broken down. We're all debating a city that doesn't exist yet, where mass transit has gotten better funding. Best we can do is see if in other places of the world, where mass transit may be better funded relative to roadways for private vehicles, and see if those cities are more desirable. |
