after driving as little as possible for a while, when I get back in a car, all the close calls get to me way more than they ever did before. Every time I get in one of those things in the city, there's guaranteed to be some dipshit not paying attention almost causing an accident that could injure me, cost me hundreds or thousands of dollars, etc. Sometimes I'm the dipshit, despite my best efforts.
Cars suck, and they take a toll you don't even really feel until you've tried living without one for a while
I feel this. For some reason lately I'm the only one who consistently ends up driving folks into different sporting events which happen to be in cities and denser areas. I would love to use the train more but everyone complains you have to walk a little bit to the stadiums and whatnot.
I've been seeing so much crazy stuff lately because of that I've started dreading driving anywhere.
assuming the stadiums aren't built out in east bumfuck nowhere like the one in phoenix that's like 10-15 miles from downtown and not even really served by buses let alone a train, they should suck it up
in my city one of the major stadiums has a train station built into it and the rest are more or less directly adjacent to rail transit (one you have to walk across the parking lot but its not bad at all). People still try to drive to everything. it's not the transit, its just carbrain
Yeah it's definitely massive carbrain. The dilemma is the stadiums we've gone to are probably ~10 - 15 minutes walk from the station. You can use a combination of busses and stuff to get right to the stadium but I always thought it was just easier to walk. Obviously when you can park right next to the stadium and then sit in traffic on the way out which is clearly amazing.
I hated game day traffic at my high school, no way in hell am I driving out of a professional stadium.
