If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don’t, but a man can dream though. A man can dream though. A man can dream.

    Absolutely, hopefully these “true costs” can be accounted for, imagine for example the price of gas without government handouts, or the costs of traffic lights, street signs, and roadways.

      The biggest secondary cost of cars is definitely health. Soo many deaths and healthcare costs from accidents, pollution, lack of transportation access, heatwaves, etc.
