Re:Riding transit takes almost twice as long as driving (2017) by wisnoskij on Sunday July 31, 2022 @05:24PM (#32298986)
This is true in a minority of cases.

Like delivery works as their are a small number starting locations and no one cares about the max travel time.

Or transporting people between a small number of hub locations and not caring that much about how long it takes.

But public transit that transports every address to every other address is almost infinitely less efficient than just giving everyone a car.

You’re right that’s something cars solve for that public transport doesn’t. But that’s not what public transit advocates are asking for.
