One 12-foot-wide lane for:
Heavy Rail—moves 80,000 people/hr.
Light Rail—22,000.
Bus Rapid Transit—20,000.
Pedestrians—19,000.
Bicycles—14,000.
Automobiles—2,000.
So...can someone remind me why we continue to plan & build our space-limited cities around cars?

"It’s time to create and fund new service where it is needed, and to buy new coaches and dining cars. That includes fully funding @Amtrak's outline to refresh and replace Superliners. That can’t come soon enough for our members who carry self-help kits like mine when they travel"
