    Reduce 27 lanes to 4 lanes with bus priority lanes and put people on a bus. Thats 27 cars with 5 people in roughly 2 buses with ~50 people.

      Then you’d be riding with the sort that have to ride the bus. I personaly like not being stabbed or pissed on.

        The sort of people that ride the bus and train is most of the population in the EU and a lot of other countries.

        If you do it right, you share the bus with the sort that takes the bus because it’s more convenient than getting stuck in traffic and having to look for a parking spot

          On every country on the planet, only the poor take public transit. Do you see rich people anywhere take buses?

            I’m a software engineer and own a car. I take the bus downtown because I hate trying to find a parking spot and dealing with other drivers.

              I’m a doctor and I bike and take the bus. But neither of us really count as “the rich”, we’re still working class. Personally I see nothing about the rich to emulate, so I don’t really see the point.
