    I hate cars too but can someone explain how I can get around the US without public transport? Y’all are trying to lynch anyone that drives but some of us can’t ride a horse to visit our parents??

      Would you get mad if parking spots were taken away to put up a bike lane? Would you be mad if an extra lane was taken away to put in public transportation? If you answer yes to these 2 questions you don’t hate cars enough…

      This community doesn’t want to lynch people who drive, we don’t fucking want cars to take up 100% of our space especially in cities!

        There’s no public parking anymore anyways but I’m not sure how people 40 minutes from the city could bike easily in America but I’m sure you’ve got more wisdom to shove down our throat over it.

          It’s generally not on the individual to make public transport changes (besides carpooling and biking where possible), just make sure you’re voting for people who are willing to make more bus routes and invest in public transport. Local elections really matter for this.

          Lol, maybe you shouldn’t be driving 40 mins to do stuff? Enjoy sitting in traffic and hating life, hope your insurance rates continue to increase and you end up broke and under control like your masters want you to be.

      Take a train to the nearest train station, then have your parents pick you up. If your parents live in the middle of nowhere and need unorthodox transport, then leverage the unorthodox transportat they already own.

      This is after the US completes a base level of unfucking their complete lack of alternatives to car transport of course.
