    Things really improved when urban planners were forced to design cities as one long road with a single stop at both ends, and every commuter were forced to start their journeys from a single location at a specific set time.

    A more interesting model would be starting and ending in random locations across a wide area, starting at random times.

        A model of road utility. Roads don’t look like this and aren’t used like this, so anything this proves has little to no bearing on reality. Yes, cars take more space, but they’re also doing a completely different task than a bus or a bike. The use case of using any mode of transport to go a short distance in a straight line and then stop is pretty contrived.
