Instead let's have more light rail and electric buses please.
No shit. If you need to move people just look at where the most people are moved... airports. Every major airport has buses and rail in and out. There's no reason for cities to be built around individual transport when individuals are rarely transporting more than themselves.
Oh, you think that's bad? Check the Texrail map. It's the light rail line for Fort Worth, Texas.
It's literally one line that goes from downtown to DFW airport. There's a planned expansion that will push it slightly further further west to the medical district... in downtown.
And don't even get me started on the bus line intervals. The one that's closest to me runs HOURLY. It may as well not even fucking exist, and I think that's the idea.
