@Boenau I save $50 to $100 a day on taxi/ride shares owning my car. Take away your $100k and I'm still $100k in the black over 10 years. I'm sure you'll come up with some reason "that doesn't count," as usual.
@criticalurban Capacity isn't the relevant metric, it's usage. If a bus lane has the capacity to move 10,000 riders an hour and a car lane 1,000, but all the buses are empty so it actually moves 50 an hour and the car lane moves 500 then the car lane is the optimal societal choice.
