Ah yes. More parking lots. Just what we needed.

Busses are slower, are less reliable, and don't let you take as much stuff with you.

Trains are slower, cost more, are less reliable, and don't let you take as much stuff with you.

Planes cost more, are less reliable, only work for long-haul, and don't let you take as much stuff with you.

So, yes. EVs are pretty fucking nice.

I think you're just describing poorly implemented bus and train systems.

I miss when I lived somewhere with a better transit system that gave me the option. Taking a bus or light rail downtown or to the airport was so much easier and cheaper than finding and paying for parking.
