Except that they are neither comfortable nor convenient ... and aren't very practical either.
As WalterS says,
"You forgot one option: It's a bad idea that competes for infrastructure with good ideas."
I'd much rather focus on better ideas.
For example, I use public transportation. I participate in the surveys and questionnaires about public transportation. I communicate with the organisations involved in improving our public transportation. IMO, public transportation is an idea which could be reasonably comfortable, reasonably convenient, and reasonably practical for a reasonably large number of people.
