They should consider addressing the demand side. A mass movement for free public transport would break the back of the auto-system. Think about the illegal drug trade. Has attacking the supply side ever worked? As long as there is demand, supply will find a way. Currently forests in Indonesia are being devastated to supply “renewable” palm-oil to Europe.
The good news. There is already an international movement for free public transport with groups in 16 countries.
