For sure, the will isn’t there. We’re still spending money rearranging roads to store more cars - EV or otherwise - and we’ve been subsidizing personal EV instead of looking at collective transportation. We need more revenue (property taxes) and a common desire to get out of cars.
My personal transit issue is I’m moving from a very good corridor to a bad one and back so the transfer/waiting takes almost as long as the trip itself and on average 4x longer than a car. Cut that in half and with my wife commuting by bicycle we’d have a strong economic argument not to own a car but rather to use car share.
