Yes. Preferred alternative, for me.

I posted this hoping to get the conversation back on track. Common tactic.

Mine was basically that timed entry is horrible, but obviously necessary. And that a shuttle has to be the next option.

Cars are most definitely the future. If you think people love their cars now, just wait until the convenience of a self-driving car. We could sleep while our car drives us to the rainier entry gate at 5am. Timed entry beating AND the annoying 2 hour drive is gone. Or get some work done while driving home. I think i'll drive to yosemite while working remotely today. No parking? I'll have the car drive around and wait for me.
Car driven overcrowding of remote areas is about to get so much worse.
To be fair it will be much safer.

I have.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

I was considering doing so but wondering if there is any point? Does the NPS take into consideration the responses or is it just political theater to appease the public?

With a timed entry you're just gonna get a big group of these ticket hustler types loitering out in front of the gate. You'll be seeing 200-300 of these guys that turn around and immediately sell on the black market doing business to a scene of 500+ cars looking to wait out the sellers for a cheap deal. Getting out of the cars, drinking beers and whatnot. DAILY BASIS!!! Smoking cigarettes!! these guys are out there on a daily basis flipping tickets!! With a timed entry no one will ever go in the park because the game will be to just WAIT OUT the ticket hustler types!!

NPS....? Not sure. I know one of a few other reasons the USFS kept the Illabot Road opened was due to volume of responses, many generated by NWHikers. But that's a local issue, and a few hundred responses was big time for that. A few hundred for MRNP is a blip, I would think....
NPS has the interest of the entire nation (can't recall if worldwide responses are considered..? )
