What is the solution to road traffic?
People are frustrated by difficult road vehicle traffic problems. What is the solution? Individual motorized transport has been around for 100 years. Still, it is a mess. The more build-out solutions that are tried, the worse it gets.
Here is another way to go: make urban buses fare-free. Then add buses as required by demand. This will make gradual change away from individual motorized travel.

Taiwan had 2.71 million visitors from China last year.https://healthpolicy.fsi.stanford.edu/news/how-taiwan-used-big-data-transparency-central-command-protect-its-people-coronavirus
