No doubt transit could be better and it would help, but there is no amount or form of public transit that will get someone in the far suburbs to leave their truck at home. There’s no amount or form of public transit that will take people from their subdivision to the nearest monstrous power centre to shop. Our urban design doesn’t support mass public transit.
Where does public transit work? Europe for one, where cities are much denser AND they tax the heck out of fuel. We shouldn’t argue between density, transit, and fuel tax - they are three legs of the same stool.
