It ain't much, but the idea was causing a traffic jam in my head so I had to get it out here on the information transit grid.

A series of crudely made car stickers saying:
GET ME OFF THE ROAD
Support public transit :3
I know my driving sucks
We need more buses so I don't have to
THIS CAR WOULDN'T BE CAUSING TRAFFIC
IF WE HAD BETTER PUBLIC TRANSIT
Would a premium bus service help break that stigma?
Also, I don't see what's so comfortable about being stuck behind the wheel in a traffic jam.
To some extent, sure. Even more so for a shiny and fast metro. But there seems to be a large irreducible mass of people in the individualistic West (in contrast with East Asia, the other developed part of the world) who will put their own comfort and privacy over literally everything (and everyone) else, even if it means frittering their lives in traffic jams. That to me is the balance of the evidence.
