If you're not incentivizing them to take transit, you're encouraging them to drive.

Ok, I don't think you have ever been to big European cities, this is not how people have their priorities cut out when visiting. But I can see that discussing this further leads nowhere, since you don't believe me and I don't believe you.

Thanks for your civility. My whole premise is predicated on questions neither of us can answer. You're quite right that I've never been to Europe (only England and Wales as an infant), but I feel my studies of urbanism and transit provide some insight. Thanks for the pleasant chat.
