 us east coast bus drivers just do what they want because they are driving the larger, more rigid vehicle and it works pretty great. dedicated bus lanes are best, but this game of chicken works for most drivers too. AreWeDrunkYet has issued a correction as of 18:03 on Feb 15, 2024 |

busses here are mandated to stop at every train crossing and people go batshit insane over having to wait a few more seconds, extremely aggressive merging over into the left lane without looking and a honking symphony

Ah, but did you consider all the jobs created by the bureaucracy involved in charging people for basic mobility? You even get computer touchers to develop apps these days! Why do you hate jobs? I have good memories of free Sundays on the Copenhagen trains when I was a student. Just get some friends and beers and go on a train to wherever, maybe check out the place and then back to chilling in the train. That was some good afternoons.

CopperHound posted:The bus system in my county is free this month, even the bus that usually costs $7 to connect with the transit center the next county over. Twin Cites maybe? I heard they are running a free transit pilot on a route or two. I think they saw like a 30-40% uptick in rider miles.

silicone thrills posted:I still feel guilty - in 2018 i was making a left turn and i came like 5ft from someone who was crossing in the crosswalk. because you know, the loving insanity of a marked left hand turn while people have a loving walk light in this area. I've had a couple times where a pedestrian was concealed by my car's A pillar, so now I make it a habit of moving my head to see around it. I also now expect drivers to also have me in their A-pillar blindspot

And based on rush hour experiences with the trains, it definitely can't be everyone on the trains. poo poo's packed.

CopperHound posted:Public transit should be free all the time. Ah, but have you considered that if it was, then some of the people who currently ride bikes might take public transit instead? And we can't risk that. (This was an argument presented by a Danish politician not long ago.)

These are the same people that want universal voter ID. Cars and guns? Do whatever the gently caress you want, it’s a free country. Voting? That’s going too far, let’s be careful here.

That’s going too far, let’s be careful here. Yeah, but votes in America can actually cause real material harm, unlike cars and guns. The theft angle to auto fines is pretty stupid, just reply with your receipt from when you reported it stolen and they'll waive it.

Here they take a photo and compare it to your drivers license and if it’s not you then the ticket is immediately dropped You’re supposed to identify the driver if you can so they can send the ticket to the right person, and the letter you get heavily implies in very strong language that this is mandatory, but if you read closely and are savvy enough to know your legalese enough to know may/must, you can tell it’s optional
