I know it would be a monumental task, but I have to believe the answer is trains for mass transit.
We just rode TGV Lyria (joint collaboration between France TGV and Swiss SCNF ) from Geneva to Paris (and back). 3 hrs 8 min in comfort and speed (reaching 190mph). But the ease of travel. It's not over crowded (the train itself), there is a bar/deli coach in middle, and it's smooth.
We rode 2 other trains over the past week (Gstaad and to Geneva)vs driving and they were all on schedule to the minute.
I know it would take 20 years to create all the infrastructure/upgrades, but it's a fantastic mode of transport.
