And if we reduce the number of cars on the road, we put a lot of people out of work.  Such as the car manufacturers, the car dealers, the mechanics, the auto motive part stores, and car washers, as well as gas station attendants (the #1 employer of New Jersey).
What are you going to do with all of these newly unemployed people braniac

THERE WILL STILL BE CARS!!!! Why is that hard to understand?  Car manufacturers can switch their lines to making buses and engines.(those that still have humans in the assembly process, for those that still assemble in the US)  Dealers will still be around but at lesser numbers.   Mechanics can switch to being bus, train, subway mechanics.  Gas station attendants?  Are you seriously using that as an argument to stop mass transportation?  Gas attendants in 2 states?  Many of whom can not even speak english and whose citizenship is in question.  You can make the same argument for getting rid of the IRS.  What will happen to all those IRS agents.  All the tax lawyers. etc..  What about electronic tolls?  What happens to all the human toll collectors? 

The fear of losing jobs is not a valid reason to stop moving forward.  If that was the case robots on the CAR ASSEMBLY LINE would not exist with todays current UNIONS!  When was the last time you called a company or office and it was answered by a human?  When was the last time you deposited or withdrew money at a bank teller instead of an ATM machine?

Dont question me on job loss when it has been going on for decades thanks to machines and automation.

Oh, they can just switch to making buses, and mechanics can just switch jobs too?  YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!  Everything is easy because a Democrat says so.  Just pull out, stop polluting, pay more to help this unemployed bum, don't think for yourself let us do it for you.  Just THINK for yourself for a change.  Can you honestly sit there and tell us that your mass transit unemployment proposal is even on the same level as ATMs and automated operaters?  Do you know how vast of a difference in the number of people you are talking about?  Here's an idea, why don't you stick a windmill up your a$$ and motor on down the road.

Do you even know how a free market economy works?  Once you implement a plan for mass transit people will no longer seek to fill those jobs.  So Billy Bob wont go to school to be a car mechanic he will go to school to be a bus mechanic etc... Those in the field will slowly wither away (RETIRE) just as the the newer transportation systems come online.  This isnt something that will be done overnight like a flip of a switch.  This would be something that is created over the course of years.  During which time those in fear of losing jobs would have plenty of time to find a new line of work or RETRAIN TO FIX OTHER THINGS!  Its called going back to school. 

What about all the construction jobs that will be created to build these infrastructures?  Have you thought of that?  have you thought of the number jobs created to build a Mag Lev from Boston to D.C. or San Fran to San Diego or from Pitt to Detroit?  Have you thought of how many bus driving opportunities would be created to support a near 24/7 bus transit system in metro areas. Say...Lehigh Valley (where I live).

Obviously you have trouble seeing the forest through the trees.  Everyone wants to solve the oil problem by trying to find more oil sources.  Why dont we thumb our nose at the Middle East and OPEC and say keep your damn oil and $uck it?  We are switching to Solar, Hydrogen, Mass Transportation.  ETC....  Your the same type of people who think they can solve a problem by throwing more money at it.
