So, if you leave one of these on the public street or sidewalk, isn't that just littering?

How do people move these things, anyhow?

Can someone talk them into putting them on the road in between the bike lane and the vehicle lanes instead of on the sidewalk?

The top transit system in the US is the MTA and it still sucks. People who want amazing mass transit move to NYC every year and get their hearts broken. There's all sorts of weird train outages and frequency issues constantly. And there's a lot more bus than you think there's gonna be, and you can ride a bus in any city

what is opportunity cost precious?

oh, it gets worse than that, read the reaction from the police to go insane with rage

Officers said the teenage driver wasn't reckless, but inexperienced. He wasn't cited because a vehicle-code infraction wasn't committed in an officer's presence, authorities said.

a sane society would tell him he's done driving forever, a very lenient society would revoke his license and tell him to come back and reapply for it in a few years after taking an intensive class on driver safety, and in our society the cops make excuses for him and won't even cite him for having done anything wrong. after coming within a few inches of turning a little girl into slurry out of gross negligence and recklessness

A sane society definitely has unsignalized intersections with crosswalks across 4-lane roads.

nothing wrong with riding the bus though

I'm not hating on the bus, I'm simply saying that there are people who visit or move to NYC thinking it's going to be a train paradise, and it is compared to other American cities, but that's compared to other American cities. Getting to a lot of places in NYC still requires bus travel.

Woah, woah, woah, here, there's an RRFB there! That's pedestrian infrastructure, creating a highly walkable neighborhood!

It's definitely not frequently ignored by drivers with absolutely zero consequences, even when they loving kill a kid because of it.

A drunk driver plowed into a girl in a crosswalk here, killing her, and he just got off scot free. There were witnesses, and he was even on camera. Insane.

A 13 year old was crossing at a corner to corner cross walk a few blocks from me a couple years ago and a guy in a pickup just took her the gently caress out. No slow down at all. He wasnt drunk so he wasnt even charged with anything.


If you want to murder someone - just wait till they walk somewhere and run them over. Youll get away scot free.

lol at the bollards spaced wide enough to drive a car through

I'm waiting at a stop sign to cross a busy road on my bike. An SUV stops on the other side, signaling left. When it clears and I start to cross, the fucker just starts driving into me instead of yielding, and only stops once I make it clear I'm not going to just wait in the middle of a busy road.

On the way back at the same intersection, I'm waiting for traffic to clear in both directions. A guy in a red sports car comes from my left (going down the busy road where they have right of way) and stops, then honks at me to go while there are still cars going 25-30 mph in the other direction. I politely declined the offer.

I stopped commuting daily for some reason but every drat week someone is either trying to run me over or yielding right of way to encourage me to get flattened.

They would have stopped an SUV so I can't fault them too much. Just didn't consider anyone might still be driving a midsize sedan in America in 2022

It's a fun store, so they probably forgot that vehicles other than late-model Ford F-series exist.
