I would think this current crisis would make people even more leery of public transport and cutting car use is not impossible but that it will take a governmental forced lock down and martial law. Maybe we should think about ways of reducing the downsides of individualized transport instead of promoting 19th century solutions (large crowded subways). Electrification, reduction in size, tunnels, etc.

Maybe ony more leery of depending on public transport.

I've stopped using subway last week, and can still run errands by bicycle, i.e., don't need a car. But I also mostly WFH so it's easy, of course.

Yes. Biking and walking are also great transit modes depending on the distance, speed, and cargo needs of the trip. Although crowded sidewalks is something to avoid at this moment.

I'm not arguing, but we've cut private car use, and it seems like the world is ending, economically speaking. Hoping this creates habits that are good for climate beyond the immediate disaster. WFH, school changes, etc. Good can come of this in the long run.
