Unless you have a super dense city layout, trains are bad at final mile delivery. So in order for people to get from their homes to the train (in the majority of US cities), you need a sensible way for them to travel in instances of bad weather or high/low temperatures. I’m all for more bike paths for regular and electric bikes and scooters and such, but not everyone can use those. So what else is there besides a car?

Also, I’m sure the article touches on these things, but I’m also not going to make an account to be able to read it, lol.
