Public transport is good, but has it’s own problems. You can’t bring the sort of goods you can with your own transport (or you have to rely on the store to do it, which still leaves the problem of cars on the road). They become superspreader events during flu/covid season. If you have to take care of an elderly family member, they may have problems getting on them and finding seats, which can become a health hazard for them. Scooters have also been banned from some forms of public transport due to the risk of poor quality poorly maintained lithium batteries exploding, which still leaves the last mile problem.
This is a problem of design. You’re saying PT is bad because cities make shit choices.
Sure! But like I’d happily pay the 2k per year I pay to maintain a car + amortised cost of a car + insurance to have better PT with like room for cargo and shit. Also not like nearly die every day because of insane tailgaters et al. and free up road space for housing or parks or whatever.
This was a post about “urban traffic problem”, so cities are sort of a given for the context. I’m actually saying public transport is good, but has its own problems.
1 delivery vehicle delivering packages to many addresses does not still leave the problem of cars on the road, it can make it a lot smaller if people then cycle walk and us PT more.

my mom brings home our christmas tree from her SO’s forest every year, takes it on the train and on the bus without issue.
