While electric vehicles (EVs) are often celebrated as the panacea for climate change, the real shift towards meaningful environmental progress begins with public transportation. Despite substantial government investments in EV subsidies and tax incentives, the key to a sustainable future lies in enhancing and prioritizing public transit systems. By making public transportation more accessible, efficient, and appealing, we can significantly reduce emissions and congestion, fostering a greener urban landscape. Transitioning away from reliance on individual cars, electric or not, is essential for a comprehensive approach to environmental change.
