Not all self-driving cars look like this. The cool thing is, you can smoke weed/drink booze/shoot heroin while you wait to arrive to your destination. Plus, you can eliminate traffic signals in an area that only has self-driving cars, resulting in much faster movement.

Subway systems need a surprising around of maintenance and keepup. Because most places have decreased passenger load at night, they just shut down the subway and use night buses instead.

Additionally, for bigger engineering and repair works, most lines usually close down for a significantly larger amount of time, usually weeks or months, every few years. DC metro right now is about to close for a few months I think.

Because our cities aren't as centralized compared to Euro cities, besides NYC public transportation is for poor people.

Sure someone could modernize the NYC rail system but that means raising taxes. Americans hate taxes more than islamic communism.

Government should build more station and implement more routes for everybody, what ought reduce cars traffic.

I guess in near future everyone who use constantly one route at current time will have his own place to seat, maybe it will be a little room with closets. Cars only need to drive in suburb.

Everybody is building modern light rail systems now. You have one in Stockholm. They're a good middle ground between buses and actual trains because they're much cheaper and more flexible than actual train lines but can transport a decent amount of people. In some ways it's also more convenient that the station is on the street
