    The vast majority of car trips are done locally. Most people aren’t driving from Dallas to New York to get their grocceries, go to the gym, or go to work.

      Most people who live rural areas need to travel at least half an hour to get groceries, I am not talking about people who live in cities.

        Most people live in cities and is largey what i am talking about. Those are the areas that dont need you to sit in 30 minutes of traffic to go 7 kms yet thats what we have. People who have to drive should be pro transit and alternatives. It takes people who dont want to drive off the road freeing up more space and easing congestion.
