As it turns out it doesn't actually cost that much on regular transit, there's an AIRPORT SURCHARGE because it's an "airport train".
No wonder Americans don't use public transit, even when the system exists it's ridiculously difficult and expensive to use.
A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!

In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
I hear she's running for governor of California! That would be amazing. Fuck Newsom.
Good grief no....Porter is extremely car-brained. Her first run for office was based entirely on opposing the gas tax. She then went on to support some dumb freeway projects:
That's some light criticism considering the alternative is flirting with fascists. Newsom had Steve Bannon on the first episode of his podcast.
Newsom is term limited, he ain't coming back. That's also the reason he's turning right IMO, gearing up for a presidential run and thinks hariss' biggest mistake wasn't going on right wing podcasts.
I see him angling for senate or a whitehouse run..... not succesfully but yeah
You see, we will become the opposition party by moving to the right of the republicans (fox will still call us communists)
Newsom isn't running for Governor (he is termed out).
I'm not a huge fan of Porter. But between her and Kamala fucking Harris, whose big takeaway from the 2024 election seems to be "we didn't run far enough to the right..."
I'll admit I don't know much about her outside of those videos of her grilling CEOs when she was part of the Progressive Caucus. If she's as pro average citizen as she seems, she's better than most. What don't you like about her?
