MODERATORS
As a car guy myself (barely), I think it's crazy that people are against mass transit.
Trains, teams, and busses are better by every conceivable metric, if your departure and destination is within like 20km of city outskirts. That's almost all traffic. If govts and people invested as much into mass transit as they do into roads, it'd be a no brainer. So much faster, and safer, and more convenient.
Let cars just be for rural folks and hobbyists.
Usable mass transit 20km from the city? Now that would be nice. But it is still science fiction for most people. Today you are lucky if you have working mass transit just inside the city limits.
there are places other than america you know
I am definitely not talking about America. Other countries can have f-up-ed public transport, too!
This is on the bases that mass transit got the kind of investment that road infrastructure currently enjoys.
It's a commentary about spending priorities.
