    It really depends on where these get implemented. If you want to live in a city, you don’t really need a car as much. Washington apparently built the world’s first floating train and appears to be leading the US in transportation infrastructure with trains and bikes. If anyone can pull it off in the US, it’s probably them.

      That’s true of Seattle but not Vancouver which is essentially just a suburb of Portland. They dont have jack shit for public transportation other than some busses, and the city is huge. This area is also formerly an industrial area along the Columbia River (just west of the I-5 bridge) thats pretty cutoff from the rest of the city.

          It’a supposed to be included with the Interstate bridge replacement but the sun will probably have run out of fuel before both sides finally agree to build it.
