We will never end gridlock, never.

It would be nice to have transportation alternatives, however.

See also 'reduced demand' on the same page.

  1. massively over-supply options better than cars
  2. people avoid car hassle
  3. shrink lanes
  4. repeat

But that first step is the killer: I found in my own experience that my transit commute had a maximum bus tolerance of 15-30 minutes (based on traffic) or I'd just not do it. I can ride a train for an hour, but have me sit in traffic on a bus and it's "fuck no".

And yet, anyone who wants to badly enough can avoid gridlock.
