Okay, now solve for local transportation and create a single network that's highly optimized for both long distance, medium distance, and last mile solutions. Bet you it looks like cargo trucks, buses, and road infrastructure.
Looks like fast frequent all neighbourhoods city tram system with tap on, tap off, coherent pricing, decent buses and free park and ride at tram stops.
Why does it need to be a single network? A shipping container can go on ship, train, and truck pretty seamlessly, and that combined multi-modal network can connect sources and destinations that no one method is sufficient for.
And once you design an optimized network under your parameters, it starts to look like a hub and spoke model, with high volume arterial routes connecting the hubs, pretty close to how parcel delivery tends to work. And once you have that, you can optimize specific segments, including using hubs connected by air for time sensitive stuff (same day, next day, 2-day service), waterways or rail for really heavy or bulky stuff, and all sorts of intermediate methods or a variety of last mile delivery needs for the specific needs of any given package.
It looks like trains, bikes, and walking
And trams. Which admittedly look a lot like trains but run to a high frequency rather than a timetable.
Optimizing for anything but speed removes the primary factor humans will focus on for happiness in a transit situation.
Tram is 2/3 the time as car in rush hour in my city. You just need a decent tram system with fast offstreet lines outside the city centre.
I don't believe you
Highly optimized for traffic jams.
Wouldn't it be neat if companies weren't flocking to a few neighborhoods in a few cities, creating not only traffic jams but driving up housing prices as well? Isn't it silly how local governments are competing on who can throw the most money at private enterprise to get the new widget factory or tech campus built there?
I just hate the whole concept of housing as an investment vehicle. You get all these old ass shit houses worth a million dollars for no damn reason.
