Public policy should try to make people's lives better, not worse.

Building efficient transit systems and moving away from the most inefficient system, that also happens to kill 100 people every day will make people's lives better.

Which is why public transportation needs heavy investment now.

It is much better for 80% of the people living today and 100% of the people living 50 years from now who will be dealing with the devastation caused by our CO2 emissions.

The claim I'm responding to is that, rather than making heavy investments to adapt transit infrastructure to people's lives, people should just adapt their lives around the transit infrastructure we have.
