Electric Cars Are NOT The Answer. We Need Public Transport.

1. We HAVE public transport and, outside of North America, people use it.

2. We need both! 😊👍

3. There is no single answer. There is only doing whatever we can to reduce carbon emissions, and work on all the other environmental problems one step at a time.

   Framing any one action as some sort of disappointing ‘silver bullet’ is ridiculous and counter-productive.

   If people want to advocate for public transit, all the power to them. But, they shouldn’t be trying to sabotage a different green solution to carve out room for their suggestions.

4. No, you need both. Many countries populations are not currently housed in a way that allows for a complete substitution of cars for public transit.

5. We need both.

6. Public transport + walkable cities.

   Cities and towns are now a place for cars, not for people.

7. We need both. It’s not either/or.

8. An answer that the US population won’t adapt or accept isn’t an answer either, even if it’s the right thing to do

9. Ubiquitous electric passenger trains and trams, alongside more dense affordable areas is the answer though!!

10. Long term,yes. In the short term EVs are the best option.
