      Sorry, I'm really not interested in other people's unsubstantiated speculation about what can realistically be done. If that's all that's realistic, then realistically we're all screwed anyway.https://capntransit.blogspot.com/2012/02/political-realities.html …

      Literally right here in your linked article--the limitations of short-haul rail freight are not about policy but about physics, which is why *nowhere in the world,* no matter how pro-rail, is pulling it offpic.twitter.com/q1G7lw861n

      Again, that's a limitation on your imagination, not on physics. No government in the world is pro-rail enough to build a freight distribution system without any trucks.

      Either - the entire world is unimaginative, or - you're overlooking a physical constraint Which is more likely?

      lmao have you? if there's a country you know of which has eliminated trucks from its logistics, I'm very interested to hear about it

      Are you telling me it's impossible for everyone in the world to keep doing the same stupid thing for decades, if not centuries? If you are, then you're the one who needs to look at political realities.

      And even if we can't eliminate *all* last mile truck delivery, there's certainly scope for getting *some* of it off trucks (cargo bikes, freight trams, Chicago-style tunnels, etc).

      Cargo bikes are the most viable option here--as far as truck delivery is concerned, it would be great to have more small/light trucks and fewer semis (but this wouldn't involve changing mode share) pics relatedpic.twitter.com/LAYce23wPc

      Maybe freight trams to supermarkets and malls?

      Maybe, but I don't think that would work for the same reason that passenger trams don't go to every house's front door

          Supermarkets and malls are quite likely to be on tram routes though.

          Some are, and if their distribution centers are also on the routes, you could probably manage a few evening and early morning deliveries by tram.

          Not asking for elimination, just reduction. Pipelines could work too when appropriate.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/08/bruges-pipe-dream-a-reality-beer-pipeline …
