Public logistics for consumer freight would be pretty awesome actually.

When I was moving a year and a half ago, without a car something like that would have come in handy. Every one or 2 weeks I would see a piece of second-hand furniture I could have used, but had no way of getting it to my new home. I could have payed for the furniture, but didn't have the money for movers or to rent a truck every time I found something.

Drone delivery for all last-mile problems. In fact, I want to buckle on a harness, and have an Amazon quadcopter carry me from the train station to the front door of my house.

This is a silly thing to jump towards in the discussion, since it's not like we are anywhere close to the situation in which we have next to no private transport. In fact, we are almost at the other extreme.

But if I was to indulge you, I would say that public transport doesn't mean rails. In the case of buses it also uses roads. And of course, if we were to abolish all motorized private person transport (again, no where even close to that) of course there would need to be a system to allow for the transport of items that are too big to be transported by individuals in public transport. I assumed that goes without saying.

I didn't jump there. The parent statement is "More public transport and less cars is always an improvement" jumped there.

Pretty sure that was you.

> I disagree. There is no need for a "balancing act" between cars and public transport. More public transport and less cars is always an improvement.

Sound familiar?

I'm not denying that this was a quote from me. I'm denying that this is what brought it into this weird theoretical extreme area.

You also haven't responded to my response yet. You just ignored it and are trying to derail the discussion with a meta argument. Unless you are going to address the actual content of the arguments, I'm done with this conversation.
