Texxi::Transit Exchange XXI Century
When it comes to personal mobility, the private automobile is king precisely because nothing can compare in terms of cost and convenience
Most cars are only used 1 hour per day and carry only the driver for 90% of their trips
If there was a means of sharing vehicle resources on demand, it would be possible take the majority of vehicles off the road during rush hour. This means sharing
Such a system as this can only work on a very largescale owing to the network effects required. Enough people need to be wanting to share at given time to make the market worthwhile
A system such as Texxi allows vehicle operators and their customers to turn it on and go from day one, after certain conditions are met
Now only the market (that is the cumulative personal choices and opinions of the users) drives the use of vehicles and since the price of pollution can be factored in, this is fair for the planet too
Effectively these schemes are "always-on, tolls, everywhere" and they are considered to be socially inequitable. Now there exists is a means to pay those people who use the road less than a median amount in order to eliminate this social inequity
Municipalities will benefit from the system since there would then be a way to finance both ongoing road operations and new construction in an equitable manner. Only road users would pay
