Mass Transit is the Answer

The future of our cities and earth depend on a lasting reduction of the personal automobile.

How is this best achieved?

Nope bike won't do it on their own, though they are certainly a huge part of the solution for younger and healthier people.

Effective, comfortable and safe Mass Transit.

The goal within a ten mile radius of any viable population center is this:

One should be able to walk no more than five minutes to and from a transit node.

The commuter should arrive at any destination within 15-30 minutes

The commuter should be able to carry and secure 10-20 pounds of belongings. (Tough one I know.)

The financing of this, simply put would be transferred from the billions currently wasted on propping up needless freeway systems.
