Even if you think what you would say is obvious, please add. This is genuinely something I think makes sense regarding local bus routes given the longevity of light rail and how infrequently routes change, but I also suffer from confirmation bias, so I’m hoping for reasons this would be a terrible idea but obviously would prefer reasons it would be an even more amazing idea than I thought.

      That I don’t know, but I assume there’s at least a few models doing that calculation. It’s hard to be accurate as your impact scale goes outward, but I can assure you it’s not going to look good for gas powered cars on the global scale calculations. They’re really hard on the planet and the people around them.

      Heh, well, if the petroleum industry and the development of automobiles ends up destroying the environment, then the cost-benefit analysis would seem to be moot.
