As I just commented. How many individuals can drive cars before congestion makes it impossible? 10 million people? 20? 30? The I-10 and 101 stack interchange is already a fucken mess that can't be expanded. How do you handle exponentially more drivers on the road each year?

Edit: you don't even have to answer cause we already know from California, you don't. The rich people just pay pilots to fly them and the plebs get stuck in 2+ hour traffic to go 20 miles.

How many individuals can drive cars before congestion makes it impossible

It's impossible to answer that - there's just too many other variables, such as how far are people travelling, how many of them are going to the same destination, how many roads are there (not how many lanes, how many roads), etc etc.

I was talking more about where I live. In Arizona your options are car or a slow bus. The light rail only goes to the east side and inner city. You pretty much are forced to own a car and feed into that entire complex. Its bullshit and the congestion is getting exponentially worse each year. I've been voting in local elections for my lifetime and nobody cares. Guessing by this comment section everyone is content being forced to participate in the car market. So go ahead, be forced to buy insurance, tires, gas, and vehicle maintenance. Be forced to drive on crowded roads during early morning hours with thousands of others. Everyone loves it I guess. Instead of, maybe voting for public transit that is so reliable you can count on a tram or train every 30 minutes so we don't have to spend multiple thousands of dollars on a vehicle to get to work and back.
