I remember having a heated conversation with Maithili about transportation in NY when we were creating our service/app. We talked about the whole mess of a map for the MTA subway and all the good ‘ol delays and reroutes on the trains.  Even though we have so much technological innovation going on, there’s still no significant change to the types of transportation here. Change is hard and it’ll take time to work and be accustomed to, but as long as it’s for the better, for example, like something self-sustainable so we don’t have to pay for transportation. I mean we already have electric-charged buses so maybe we can with trains too? I’m not really sure how the MTA works, but if it were a free service (or maybe you pay for an initial fee to get your all-in-one MTA card for your personal use) would it become a government paid job? I wonder if this change would increase the number of passengers though and if the platforms and vehicle being used would even be big enough for the new amount. I know it’s already hard to implement changes (I’m looking at you MTA with all your delays and reroutes), but maybe we could spread out and try our ideas in a country who would need better transportation. Ideally, it would be a win-win situation because we’d be able to test out ideas while helping the people who live there. Of course, the drastically different climate would affect the type of transportation as well so this wouldn’t be a direct solution for us as well.
