I very much know that, this speed ideology extends even to railways - speed is prioritised over traffic reduction, i.e. analysis of separation of needs is blocked, because speed is given priority of thought.

The de facto situation is exactly the reason why I think temporary subsidies by privilege is necessary, because change with privileges worked in Norway. The legal de facto situation is that (ICE) cars are still being subsidised via staff car privilege, diesel subsidies and commuter flat rate and over the last ten years, nothing has changed about any of this substantially despite heavy confrontation, so we have to take the opportunities where they are.
