I just wrote an article about transportation and how we could do things far better.
Don't hesitate to take a look at it and share your thoughts.

@leo Quick test in what you mean. Do you mean far better if they designed it better and wanted to or far better some other way. My initial reaction is 'of course... if they wanted to... but... they more often don't / chose accordingly for themselves (so it's a bit futile as their care is not there)... I may have this wrong but anyway it's also to check with you what you think.
@freeschool
I explain in the article that it can only come from a collective will to create a more synergetic transportation system. It can really be life-changing in a satisfying way. But it is not as profitable for big companies as the private car model and all the things that revolve around it. So it doesn't mean that it will be more profitable in a short term and in terms of money earned. It is better because it makes life better for most people in many ways.
@leo I categorise this sometimes as being naive or hopeful or "yes but they will not change like someone will not give up their power and give up their own job/government for everyone else's good'
I guess I like what you write inside a bubble and I'm seeking to get out of that *considering* "the will" of those will hardly change or like I say give up their power.. so working on how to eject forceful people is maybe a title outside of another "If only if they did this"... just speaking my mind... with will yes anything humanity can do or increment... but you have to assume there are determined bastards out there, constantly and asking for will is not the solution (they already chose 1000 times and don't want to share)... So nice article (if I read it and yes I might) but consider "bastard" problem more than a nice idea or "if only" the game is more weighted the other way and we see already they are willing to risk life over and over... even those in the middle, a lot are cowards or 100 things (xenophobes, inexperienced, intolerance, uncultured, number-minded,,, list goes on)... and add force or compliance or going for cheese (that is probably root problem, if cheese was more available / free then people could make a choice but money (for food) turns people / gives excuse not to work on the anything / give up / have no imagination...
