    Right. They should only be used by the few people that need them. But the reality is there are a lot of people with no business owning a big truck driving them in places that big trucks have no business being in

      Back to my point: fix tranit so more people don’t think they need to drive. Small cars are still vastly more dangeious than transit.

        I’ve known plenty of people in southern US states who drive trucks for purposes that don’t require trucks. They’ll never choose public transit over their trucks, no matter how good it is.

        …Though, realistically, that’s not exclusively a truck issue. If one can just step outside and get into their own car and be immediately en route to their destination, on my their own schedule/convenience, it’ll be hard to convince them to choose a less convenient mode of transportation.

          Are you sure they wouldn’t use transit? Or is it just all the transit they have ever seen is so bad they wouldn’t use it and they have no vision of what could be - but if somehow you built they great transit they would use it?
