Thanks Public Transit - Blog Posts
And honestly, I like the idea of rewarding my things for helping me. It might help me to better appreciate the world around me.
And maybe my phone should be rewarded for connecting me to the greater world (email, text, Google, bus navigator) by getting to sleep more often... instead of having me hate it.
People who talk about what population density is necessary to "justify" a rail system are wrong but they're wrong in the opposite way from how they think. Even in Japan which has more than twice the population density of China the rail system is not profitable. JR makes most of its profit by operating malls and collecting rent from vendors. If you blindly follow profit instead of considering the broader social benefits the result will always be putting your rail system into a death spiral of rationalization. Stop expecting public transport to turn a profit that's not what it exists for.
