Genius explanation of congestion and marginal trips.
@owen @sanae This makes me wonder if there have ever been any interesting experiments in public transit but for stuff. A lot of things need to move around a city, and some of the same arguments for it being inefficient for humans to travel by car still hold for things too.
Just, um, don’t let the freight operators own all the tram tracks. It’d suck to have an Amtrak situation within a city. “Tram is stuck again waiting for another freight tram…”
@dx bike messengers are the solution. There are very few things at the point of delivery that are large.
