Maybe we need to start thinking of introducing 12-15 passenger, gasoline-powered vans as they have done in some countries? The cities would have to hire more van drivers, but the jobs many people perform don't really involve "long-term wealth creation", anyway. Driving a van would be a great part-time job for many students, seniors (<70 y/o) or women. Of course, having universal health care would help also. Most women bus drivers I talked to on the Denver (RTD) System were quite happy with their jobs. HOG
According to APTA, electric railway energy costs are rising much more slowly than bus motor fuel costs.
