Money spent to move cars faster is a bad policy

Here is an example of money wasted supporting the car culture. Pedestrian overpasses are expensive and rarely used. Their purpose is not to protect pedestrians, but to allow traffic to move faster. Faster traffic actually puts pedestrians at more risk. Instead we should invest the money in free buses and gradually get rid of private autos. Private autos take up too much room, are inefficient in moving people and are dangerous.
