I definitely want a more expansive public transportation system out here in the foot hills. A high-speed rail network to connect us to other parts of the state would be awesome. But it isn't feasible to get rid of all cars completely. A single parent out here can't be expected to make multiple bike trips for the equivalent of one grocery store run, up and down hills to feed multiple children and work a full time job. Some people out here live on roads where cars can barely drive on let alone a bus. edit: typo

You've identified the problem. Now for solutions!

The solution is individual vehicles for transportation. Congestion is not an issue in the sticks.

The solution is people not living in rural areas? Are you aware of what people living in rural areas do?
