I'll miss my 50k + 0.5k a month of various insurance/fees/repairs so much
Hands down the best mode of transport to lose money
So you live at the combined bus/train station and work at another bus/train station with a direct link - that's cool.
Do you one better: Not only did I not have to monitor traffic, I fall asleep regularly on the train and some of the nicer busses in my city.
Well not technically fully fell asleep, more lkle went into that half asleep state where you're still conscious enough to usually not miss your stop. Still somehow end up feeling somewhat rested afterwards so I'll take it.
Not at all. I almost always have a couple beers when I take the train.
yeah we're only getting more highways here in Ontario no trains
You're still babying a car.
What if you could, like, delegate the entire driving process to someone? It sounds outlandish to pay for a driver, so what if you and a lot of others got together to take one vehicle. Perhaps some specialised vehicle where, through an economy of scale, it makes sense for hundreds to be moved by one driver. And for this economy of scale, what if you get the vehicle to go to places that makes sense for many of you at once.
It would make no sense for such a vehicle to be one rigid vehicle, so what if you instead make a chain of vehicles? Guidance of.... let's just call it an articulated hypercar.... would be challenging, so what if you build a road for it, where you could build the guidance into it. Since the path is now very predictable, you could even optimise the interface between your vehicle and the path for rolling resistance and speed, and build an electricity supply directly in your hyperway.
I just invented a train, didn't I?
Or even a plane. Let someone else monitor the autopilot for you.
