I agree with you broadly in principle, but sadly cities in North America have been built for cars, and so they are by far the best way to get around

I actually see this as a benefit! Cars take up a lot of space and so now there exists massive right of ways that can be used and modified for other transit modes. Take a lane away from personal cars and dedicate it to buses so they can run faster and avoid traffic. Remove some street parking spots and create a protected bike lane or a street market or something else. The extra space can be a huge boon. It’s pavement, basically a blank canvas imo.

Agree. But nobody is going to walk or ride in Calgary or Dallas no matter how many lanes you take away.
Too much sprawl, too severe weather. There are hundreds of cities like that sadly.

obviously there are still TONS of cars. Just look at the highway infrastructure and traffic.
