      Hey listen bud, I’m a massive advocate for trains and I think automated cars are an unrealistic idea in the near future.

      Still, you have to understand the origin of traffic to get a better understanding of how to come to a solution.

      “The solution to traffic is passenger trains” is a valid statement but is missing a lot of the intermediary as to how, why and completely skips the root causes of road traffic. That’s why I put the CGP Grey video 1st since that’s the first step, explaining traffic well even if I disagree with its conclusion, then CityNerd’s video 2nd. After the 2nd, the conclusion that public transit would solve traffic because it reduces drastically car volumes should start to come naturally.
