“Giving people more viable alternatives to driving means more people will choose not to drive, so there will be fewer cars on the road, reducing traffic for drivers.”

Concise, easy to understand, and accurate. I have used it at least a dozen times and it is remarkable how well it works.

Also—

“A bus is about twice as long as a car so it only needs to have four to six passengers on board to be more efficient than two cars.”

    Some people like eating ice cream for breakfast. Just because you like something doesn’t mean it’s a good idea or free of long term consequences.

    “But I like it” is not a sufficient justification for destroying our living spaces.

      What are you talking about? I said they are making up a fake person and you go off on a side rant.

        People just like privacy and playing their own music without headphone

        You said “people like” and one of my peeves is people trying to justify bad things (eg: cars everywhere, single use plastic) with “but I like it!”

          Where did I justify it? I said they invented a person and made no comments on the validity.

            …is this an AI?

            You said that people like music without headphones and having privacy as a reason, a justification, for taking a car over mass transit.
