News: Across Europe, Irking Drivers Is Urban Policy

Across Europe, Irking Drivers Is Urban Policy

I think in order to courage residents to use mass transit, there must be a "good" transit service at first. I mean accurate time table, clean environment, various routes, and fare fee. It's more likely to happen in the metropolis. Same situation, if the government want people to ride a bicycle or walk on the pedestrian, there should be safe and nice bicycle lanes and pedestrians at first.

I don't know if it's possible in NYC. Residents complain about the subway traffic and environment all the time. Some people even it will only get worse, considering tax: the amount of money invested in public transportation each year in Europe compared to the US.
