MODERATORS
The only reason bad drivers drive is because their alternatives are either underfunded and explicitly inferior or they literally don’t exist.
If we had higher standards of public transit, the standards required to get a driver’s license would increase as well.
Even without raising standards for a driver's license, people might have a license but not necessarily buy a car. A license is easy to get, but a car is pricey and has so many constant costs associated with it.
Many people would just prefer to use public transportation if it wasn't a nightmare to use. It costs less and it requires much less attention and focus from them. I usually snooze on my bus to work.
