Gregory's Server@leet @mitgibs @stux yes public transport can service remote villages but there are some that just can't be serviced by it (villages in: mountains, hardly accessible places. Would like trains to fix everything but it's not possible). Cars are needed for all sorts of things (not everyone needs one), there are jobs that especially need one (plumber,electrician,ambulance,police) that isn't the bigger part of the population, it's like 5% of the cars on the streets, there is also disabled people.

@xVAF @mitgibs @stux For an ambulance you might use a car-type, or a little push cart you load on a tram/bus/rail. Something like that could work, though that I would leave to state medicare officials to know about. (by state I mean nation, not provincial, maybe municipal could work to help in weird situations like Quebec.) @leet @mitgibs @stux Ambulances are made to quickly take care of people who need it. Disabeld people doesn't always use motored wheelchairs and sometimes they have to park the closest possible to a certain places. Sticking services to tram wouldn't work, it would create clocked up lines. Services also park the closest possible to a certain place because most of the time they need to take with them a lot of tools. |

Inclines, monorail (not the kind your thinking of, see "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei6LKHNFpeE"), and cable car are all solutions to this first problem, it doesn't just have to be trains, that was an example. Yes the disabled exist, yes motored wheelchairs exist. That one was easy. And finally you bring up services, yes, services need vehicles, but I, personally, believe that sticking them on tram lines is best to make them completely predictable, except ambulances, which I do not know.
