I think the issue goes well beyond technical terms, where it would probably be doable.

The issue is of a fundamental nature: The right to self-determination. You cannot make states install public transport that don't want it.

That's just how a society works.

Desires are nit rational or immutable essential states.

I certainly dont tjink we shoukd kerp accommodating car brain. I think withouy all the road and oil subsidies, thry would like cars a lot less.
