65% of Massachusetts’s emissions is cars and trucks.

“Unlike many states and nations, emissions in Massachusetts do not primarily come from large industrial or agricultural operations. Over 65% of Massachusetts’ emissions come from our cars, trucks, homes, and offices; another 20% comes from the power plants that provide electricity for our lights, computers, and appliances.”

You just discovered the tragedy of the commons, congratulations.

Maybe we shouldn't do selfish things because "it won't matter if only one person does it."

Life is too short to worry about it, and in his case, it’s making him late to work. Drive the car.

Expecting taxpayers to fund a bike car on a rail line that functions poorly (at best) because you choose not to drive, is selfish.
