Until trains can offer the same kind of point-to-point on-demand experience that my car can, you're not going to see much change.

They do so when walking is doing the heavy lifting: when you can walk to most places you want, everything else falls into place.

and that works when "point-to-point" only covers a tiny fraction of your urban area and a tiny fraction of the urban area you're visiting.

It works when you don't feel compelled to have millions of people in one place before building in an urban style (pic related)pic.twitter.com/AENlmsKdmp

Again, no it doesn't, because it doesn't allow you meaningful *off-network* access.

It obviates the problem bc everywhere is on the network. What your saying is like saying cars won't work bc u can't go off the road network

First, I can take my car off the road network. Second, there is no possibility of a train network connecting all the places served by roads.

Lol, you can take your car off the road network provided there's level enough ground and wide clearance between trees etc...

...as to the second point: so what? They clearly work fine without connecting everywhere that roads go. "Off network" travel still possible!

Not on a train. Only by car, which is of course the entire point of the discussion.

"Trains wouldn't work if they were the only option allowed" "Yeah, where they work, they're one of many options" "TOLD YOU!"
