Huh? This is just flat out wrong.
It's not entirely wrong, public transit is better
Not for people with mobility issues, ableist.
You haven't seen good public transit then, are you being satirical or are you really that dimwitted?
uhh how's public transport bad at that?
most buses have spots and lifty thingys needed for wheelchair users
My man, all the buses around here have systems that allow them to go down to street level to allow wheel chairs and all the metros have elevators. If your public transportation isn't helping the differently abled then your local government is to blame.
Also not for people who don't live in big cities and/or work shifts and overtimes. If I didn't have a car, I wouldn't be able to get to my job site in reasonable time and at times I couldn't get there at all. And no, I'm not going to spend 2+ hours with public transport after working my ass off for 8 hours every day when I can do it in under 1 hour (both ways together) with my crappy old Dacia.
like if you already have a car, buying a new one is a pretty bad idea for the environment even if it's "greener"
Nobody does this. You are parroting billionaire anti-climate talking points.
Where does one go to get these billionaire anti-climate talking points? Is there a service I can sign up for?
Well you sell the car so it's net the same...
it doesn't matter, buying 1 car= manufactoring 1 car. net +1 car.
