    Convience is needed. That means it is not more than 5 minutes from when you get to the stop until you are moving. It means you can get to a lot of places in a short time. It doesn’t mean cofiee - bring your own, or stop by a coffee shop and get on the next but/train which isn’t that long of a wait.

    the above would cost a lot of money - but it is much less than people spend on cars.

      Ahh I think I get it now. That might be feasible in a densely populated city. Most of the truck guys I’ve known live in suburban or rural areas. The few who lived in the city center drove much smaller pickup trucks like Toyota Tacomas, Ford Rangers, etc.

        Suburbs are dense enough to support the above transit levels. A few places is the world have it.

        rural is not, but that is a minority of people.
