How many trains run from my garage to the convenience store at anytime I want? Or from my garage to work at anytime between 8 and 9 am and then home at whatever time I want to leave? What about the trains that run to my mother's house or my sister's house in different cities? What about the one that goes to the snowboarding resort I like it in the boonies, or for that matter, the one in the middle of the mountains? I will never live in an apartment with other people for many different reasons, and it gets both miserably hot and dangerously cold where I live. There are plenty of other things to fix before going after vehicles, especially electric vehicles. Making me operate on some strict schedule with trains and buses it other public transportation takes away my freedom to do what I want, and I will fight tooth and nail to make sure that's not taken from me, especially when both can coexist.

Nobody is forcing you to only use the transit. We just want the option to be available and be effecient because for some of us it is cheaper or more convenient.

Just remember that resources are limited and if you want to use your part of the pie for stuff like that, you’ll have to save in other places. Possibly eating less/no meat, not/rarely going on vacation, living in a small home and using less energy for heating/cooling or whatever works.

Public transportation in America is typically a magnet for crime.

I’ll take a hard pass on being trapped in a tube with my assailants.
