I totally understand why you say this. But at the same time:

  1. Be a politician

  2. Do the right thing and invest billions in an amazing public transport system knowing it won’t be used properly until much later

  3. Lose your job for wasting billions on a system nobody uses. Ensure that every other politician in the world cannot henceforth invest in public transport because “Look what happened when that other guy tried it”.

  4. There is no Step 4
