The mass transit infrastructure we need will take time, and EVs are a good stopgap.

I'd say yeah, walk and chew gum at the same time. On the other hand though, have they already closed off a lane and started on laying tram tracks where you live? Did the government pass resolutions to start procuring buses?

I have the feeling that these days with today's media and everyone focusing on "owning the moment", something like better public transit is either happening right now, or will never happen until those in power get replaced.
