Funny, I’d rather have more trailers and leave the roads to them and make sure people have good transport like subways, rails, etc. you’re always going to have a last-mile issue you can’t solve with mass transit so that works better for me.

I'd rather all the cargo moved by rail. Trains can be automated way better than a truck and the efficiency is enormous for longhaul.

And last mile how?

And last mile how?

Progressively smaller gauge railways, until your Amazon parcel arrives via a 1-inch track on the regular 3.15pm service from the end of your street.

This is the way

You know what?

I'd love to hear a little "toot-toot!" and have a little train pull up outside my window, with my parcel on a carriage behind it.

Trebuchets.

Cake buddy!

Are you suggesting the entire long haul freight infrastructure should be designed around the "last mile"?

I just bought an e-scooter and it comes later this week. I am so stoked to be able to get around a little easier.

bikes delivering scooters delivering skateboards delivering rollerblades delivering heelies

Yeah, I would rather that too honestly, it makes a lot more sense, but I suppose my main point was they should be on a separate system than commuters, whatever that may :)

[–] LemmyEntertainYou@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly! The trucks aren't the issue with the roads, it's the amount of cars due to overpriced and underperforming public transport.
