Transit can not go from every point A to B like cars and trucks go. Sure, it would be nice if more moved by freight train too, but you still can't have freight moving from every location, to every location. And even if there is a mainn freight place, you still need trucks to send to the final destination.You fill a truck in new Mexico, and unload it in Riverhead. You NEED roads to move those trucks. The entire United States is geared towards that sort of delivery. Those trucks MUST get to their destination, and they WILL use the local roads to do it if a viable expressway/freeway doesn't exist. It's the same with people movement. Why should NY be the only city in the country that can't get it's people moved around on decent roads. Transit has it's necessary use, but roads ALSO have their necessary use. You need a balance of both. It's ridiculous to assume that "Oh there isn't a road, so people won't drive", that's bull. |
