I guess to qualify that, yes, the solution may "involve" making driving harder, but that should be as a byproduct, not as the focus in itself. E.g. enact congestion pricing for the express purpose of funding a specific transit project and tell the public that.― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, March 11, 2024 4:35 PM (five days ago) bookmarkflaglink
because of the congestion externality (each additional driver adds to traffic making everyone else's commute slower) it's actually good to have congestion pricing even if you don't use the money to built public transit, even if you don't value spiting drivers. similar to how a carbon tax is good even if you rebate it rather than spend the money on green infrastructure
