    I can and i will call safety a natural selection issue. Stand on road -> get hit by truck -> die -> gene pool has less stand on road genes. Same applies to rail lines and phylosophically i would argue same should applie to many other things.

    Ill keep ignore ur scalability concerns untill u can tell my why on gods green earth i should spend an hour commutting instead of 10mins driving.

      So you’re saying people shouldn’t use the footpath. Because, crazy thing is cars and trucks sometimes leave the road. A young couple was killed in QLD last year or the year before and they were just using the footpath. I guess we should select against the “go for a walk gene”. (Obviously using the footpath or standing on the road isn’t a genetic property that natural selection can effect)

        Wow there is another crazy thing that happens sometimes trains come off their rails and busses have all the same problems as cars the only thing they win out on is efficiency.
