Take any tech bro take on transit, and if you try to perfect it, you'll almost always end up with a train.

The problem is "perfection" looks different to different people.

If you're optimizing for efficiency, then you're absolutely correct.
If you're optimizing for convenience then shit like personal taxi drones is probably gonna be better.

And yet a coordinated approach with multiple strategies will most effectively cover every use case.

  • conservatives get too attached to personal vehicles as the strategy they are most familiar with, most focussed on
  • too many transit advocates recognize the limitations of personal vehicles and the advantages of rail, but tend to speak in absolutes that scare conservatives.

Yes it’s critical that we refocus much of our transportation effort to give more people better choices in more scenarios, but that will never rule out cars
