I have had unpleasant experiences on public transit in the US but all of them (that I can remember offhand, anyway) can be attributed to the lack of additional services for mentally ill people rather than public transit itself being bad

Riding public transit is basically just trading the mentally ill people you interact with online with irl ones.

why are people driving on our completely car based infrastructure instead of using our chronically undersupported and underdeveloped public transit!!!

Like this right here screams mental illness because this person has an extremely inflated sense of self importance, steer clear from this miserable freak lol

At least in public transport is epheremal, you get off and leave the crazy behind. Not chiseled into internet stone.

I had to buy one of these for my 16-year-old so that when they inevitably collided with another car while texting and driving they would be unharmed :angel:

(RIP to the other driver. You should have bought a bigger vehicle)

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where cars drive 60 next to an unprotected bike lane. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great dealership Smith & Son's Chevy is holding Christmas in July sale. Go and see him. You can buy truck.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But doctor…I am Smith & Sons.' Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains

Electric scooters are cheap and probably easier to take on public transportation/store in buildings if necessary in some situations.

I see a lot of Xiaomi e-scooters around NZ.

New Zealand has some really weird laws that are actually great, in Australia when I lived there things like e-scooters and e-skateboards were all explicitly illegal to use on roads or footpaths, while in NZ they're basically all legal both on roads and footpaths. It's weird that you can use an e-scooter on the road or footpath legally but you technically can't use them in bicycle-only lanes, while you can't legally ride a bike on the footpath at all. Also there's no requirement to wear a helmet when riding an e-scooter, even on the road, while it's legally required that you wear a helmet while riding a bike.

They've been great for urban mobility IMO though, if you need to go a few km or use them as part of a bus or train connection they're better than bikes because you can pick them up and carry them easily (also most fold up). When they first got popular there was a bunch of hand-wringing and pearl clutching by the media about them killing people on the footpath, but that all died down and I think the reality is that people on average seem sensible enough to use them without really impacting pedestrians or cars.
