can't believe I've been taking my car (7.5 miles away, 10 min drive) to see my parents instead of our wonderful transit options

walk to bus stop
wait for bus
ride bus a couple stops
get off and walk to another bus stop
wait for bus
ride bus for 15 minutes

walk 1.5 miles (lmao, just imagining this in a minnesota winter), btw this is in a suburb so it's very hostile to pedestrians

total time 70 minutes

oh and if you want to leave after 11:30 pm, the next transit option isn't until 4:30 am

It's almost as if the city was designed to make you dependent on a car

But what predator will we have to introduce to take care of the Truckasaurus population.

No worries, truckasaurus is a highly territorial creature and violence between individuals keeps their population in check

it's not like gasoline is inherently evil or anything, we just have to manage consumption a hell of a lot better than we do now, and doing things like transitioning to mostly public transit, using more motorcycles and mopeds and bicycles, and increasing city density by a lot will go a long way. electric vehicles have a list of drawbacks a mile long too and switching from a diesel pickup to an electric pickup is absolutely not the answer lol

You don't think its a bad idea to dig up the remains of ancient animals and burn their spirits?

So if I'm reading this right the thread consensus is ban cars and give every pedestrian a bicycle so there are only cyclists. If you have no legs you get a handbike and if you have no arms or legs I'll cart you around in a pedicab.

Also only the BMX punks around here blast their Bluetooth speakers from their bikes but it's so obnoxious that I actually love it. Society has utterly failed these children and their only recourse is to make a complete nuisance of themselves rolling around poisoning the air with mumble rap and Billie eilish. Anyone who tells them to stop has to reckon with me.

Mass transit alongside bikes tho

one topic the thread hasn't even broached: the olds. my parents and my wife's parents, despite not being super old yet (late 60s), already drive so badly it's insane... never signaling, just drifting from lane to lane without looking, merging without looking, etc... it's only by luck that they haven't been vaporized on the highway.

the only solution is getting them out of the suburbs and into walkable communities. but unfortunately they'd literally rather die than give up driving because the older they get, the more stubborn they get

There's a bus that runs from my apartment building directly to my office. I'm wfh so I don't ride it very often but it blows my coworkers minds when I say I'd rather take the extremely easy 30 minute bus ride instead of driving in traffic for 15. Lead isnt the only type of brain poisoning cars cause
