Hi, many thanks for your feedback. Yes, I'm also leaning towards Mercury for the time being.

Thank you! Yes, a number of fantastic foldable e-bikes featured at CES this year were pretty interesting too.

Thanks everyone for your input, highly appreciated

Many thanks for your feedback! I do agree that rail could definitely be better utilized. Actually what I meant by micromobility is for example electric scooters like Lime.

Thanks for your feedback PaulHoule, that's pretty interesting. Would you say that more people would be willing to use public transit if they were able to find parking at/near the station?

Public transit needs to offer something in exchange for time spent transferring to and from public transit and the inconvenience of riding with strangers in a vehicle that's not playing your favorite playlist. For example, dedicated use of shoulder lane by the bus to get to work faster than everyone else. Or lounge like atmosphere or with tables to get something done while commuting. I just think that sitting in the same traffic as you would in a car, listening to headphones instead of your car speakers, having to smell/deal with others, make public transit unwelcome to many.

Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it! I like your idea of allowing the bus to use the shoulder lane to get to work faster. In some countries, like Jordan, there are actually lanes that are used solely by public transit buses for that exact reason.
