But buses actually don’t. you just pay for it later. Roads are one of the fastest deteriorating forms of infrastructure. the hole “ but rail dosnt make money” argument ignores the fact that… roads don’t ether
The time frame before a rail line will save money over buses is measured in decades.
With buses, you don't include the cost of road maintenance because buses share the roads with millions of other vehicles so the allocable cost is neglible.
Most European cities are transitioning towards dedicated bus lanes. In that case, in principle, that can be light rail or tram too. The biggest problem is crossing with normal roads. Trams are more tricky to implement than busses.
Roads for buses and trucks are far more expensive than for cars. Car drivers are absolutely subsidizing bus passengers by order of magnitude. Per passenger mile even Uber is cheaper.
Honestly it's hard to guess what your talking about here. As far as things the administration has used as examples they are pretty much all incorrect (e.x. condoms for Hamas) or wildly distorted so I wouldn't call it a win for transparency, or revealing something "essentially hidden".
If your talking things like their "org chart"* maybe, sort of. There's nothing there that wasn't already available pretty easily via OPM, but one could argue it's a nicer interface. To the extent that it's actually revealed anything to anyone is argue that it has more to do with it being the trending news so people actually bother to look, rather than it being "hidden" before.
Is efficiency of the company the wrong metric in this case? Wouldn’t we rather have a market and prices reflect what it can bare rather than an open tab?
Oh christ you're right, they were actually being really funny. I was being super literal and imagined them being very excited about futuristic advances in giant isopod diagnosis and care
Agree with your first point, but Ev’s are starting to have a impact on local air quality… just because you don’t have one Dosent mean you don’t benefit
