    Yeah, make them out of metal, that rolls on metal roads. And those metal tires can carry a ton more weight, so put a lot of people in them who are going the same way.

    Oh right, we already have those.

      Noooo, you don’t get it, bro. Just one more lane, please. I promise, it will be better than last time. One more lane, that’s all we need. I’m begging you, please.

      I’m on my knees here. One more lane, just one more! This time it will be different, I swear. We won’t have traffic jams, I promise! Just one more lane and we’ll be free.

      Come on, man, think of the children. Just one more lane. I’m begging you. For the love of liberty, just one more lane!

      Any economical ways to run farms on rail? A lot of the roads where I have lived were just built and paid for by famers to move equipment between pay dirt and make their way to town occasionally

      Do we? Sounds too futuristic. Not as futuristic as linking these megacars together.

      Though “those” are wildly inaccessible and/or unrealistic in parts of the world.

      Edit: I was trying to say “unrealistic to use for most people today,” I wasn’t trying to brush off public transportation as something we shouldn’t do at all
