Trains
No they will not fix traffic problems because the problem is cars.
If there is less traffic people will still choose to drive, because there will be less traffic.
Cable cars can work in some specific conditions, but they absolutely do not have the capacity to influence traffic. We need functiong trains, not gadgetbahns.
More fucking trains! I want people to finally be able to bring their bikes on VIA trains between major cities. I want frequent departures. I want passenger trains that are not stuck behind freight trains!
Not even that. The intercity coach services that I was using 20 years ago are actively degrading, cutting routes and departures.
For fuck’s sake. Can we just have normal boring transit instead of those flashy projects?!
I think this article is laying the ground work to have the idea of private helicopters in the city as acceptable.
Surely not by themselves. Canada’s most pressing transit need is comprehensive high-speed rail in basically all major cities. Preferably they would also be interconnected.
Build high speed full right of way electric trains.
Betteridge’s law, no, cable cars will not fix traffic.
The way you fix traffic is MASS transit, trains, subways, street cars and (maybe) busses that can hold dozens to hundreds of people at a time while taking up less space.
