Yes it probably makes a small dent in the environmental benefit, but uncomfortable public transit is an even bigger disadvantage because then people take cars instead.
Hardly though, right? You would have to lower it to like maybe 4 people per carriage to match typical car usage. Besides, increasing the number of trains running during peak can solve this.
Which can drastically clog the network so nothing arrives on time.
Not sure which is worse, overcrowded or unpredictable schedule.
In defence of the argument. It is noteworthy how quickly we have a bunch of presumably autistic people brainstorming on how to solve the problem the second the problem is posed.
Same where I live in Scandinavia. Apart from massive investments in public transit, creating massive unused overhead capacity most of the time, I don’t think it’s possible. But I do take public transport to/from work and the worst thing, by far is sitting/standing shoulder-to-shoulder I absolutely hate it.
Trains actually running on time would be a nice second thing to fix, I don’t think I have ever taken public transit on my commute that wasn’t delayed.
Fewer people per sqm I busses and trains would help a lot.
That lessens the advantage of public transit over cars though

Lol, not even - more like 2, maybe 3 if you include the driver
Look, I was trying to be charitable :P

Higher frequency. So more trains/busses on the same route.
