Studies have repeatedly born out just how much more efficient at people moving mass transit is. Even ICE buses have a far smaller environmental footprint than EV cars while being more effective at moving people per square foot of infrastructure consumed.

Individuals are not optimizing for any of the metrics you’re proposed.

That's a overly broad and false statement - I am optimizing for the environment. Additionally unbridled greed isn't really the best way to run a society, government regulations are supposed to account for this by promoting a societal goal when it is misaligned with personal goals.

It's everyone's personal goal to not get murdered, and it's society's goal to minimize murders... but, from a personal perspective, being the murderer would probably be beneficial in a number of metrics. Viewing everything through an individualistic lens is pretty weird when we live as a society.
