The cuts in midday or evening service don't seem like they will cause a crisis in traffic to the point people demand transit. It seems the revolution is more likely to end up demanding more focus on roads.

Physics precludes more roads in the core. Economics precludes more parking in the core. And our population only keeps growing. I remember even a decade ago, lots of giant empty lots in the downtown core. Easily half of them are now gone. And plenty more will be gone over the coming years. There might be some visitor and paid parking. But it's going to get rarer and more expensive over time. If it wasn't for Covid, parking would already be $250-300.
