    Maybe, but now people will go “oh driving is easier so I’ll drive” and now there are more cars in the system, and thus more traffic. If you instead also make rail easy, some of them will go “oh I’ll just take the subway” and not drive.

      Cars suck for many more reasons other than Braess’ paradox, even as it indeed adds to the sucking where applied. Being anti-car should be about more than just misrepresenting facts though, especially when science is in our favor.

      We cannot argue that the car brains deny facts and then do the same in return. That undermines the whole argument.
