Why not repeat the success of the Internet. Change from devices to networks to manage highly repetitive travel with PodCars, as discussed at the ASPO meeting. Automate the commuting processes with ultra-light, non-stop vehicles. This was not on the list of options. TOD needs to be open to alternatives. More of what is not working will not likely work.

Smaller cars (one ton instead of two tons) still waste vast amounts of energy moving parasitic mass (mass not cargo or passengers). Current automobiles are less than 4% efficient. At best they will never get more than 10% efficient. There is no such thing as a fuel efficient car.

In the next 6 years we can
increase public transportation by 20%, cutting oil and congestion and emission.
