Well for one roads are relatively cheap tarmac is almost fully reusable and is already mostly oil industry waste.

Rail lines are much more restrictive than roads in where and how you can build them. they can’t turn as sharply or have that high of an incline.

Also a good portion of most llarge city populations don’t live in the city but commute. Not all of them commute to the same few areas so of course on city exits there will be a bottle neck but it thins out relatively quickly as people fuck off in multiple directions. I guess you could reduce congestion by not allowing most car in the city and having large car parks in key point outside the city. But I’m not a civil engineer or whatever deals with traffic.

Uhhh no I was just using them as an example of a company that is really against customer repairs

The vast majority of batteries operated devices are stuff that in its use is going to be “abused”. The hell is the harm in letting people switch out a fucking battery if that’s the issue. Companies won’t let people switch batteries out so they are being made. Apple have been fighting tooth and nail over repair shops
