Probably not too unpopular here.

Standing waiting for the bus in my city with decent transit and I have 2 trucks rev their engines loudly past me, another one letting just clouds of pollution, watching people driving who aren’t paying attention and several people blowing cutting last second through a light. All in just 3 minutes by a small corner with light traffic.

Made me think how cars are inherently selfish. People don’t want to be around others (the fear aspect), so they drive their own bubble around. In addition to that, some go out of their way to make their cars even worse to people outside of them.

No wonder we can’t move away from them. They are a definition of our own culture

    Ok? Some places it snows and some places it’s hot. Are we just describing things now?

      Some places you can commute with transit and some places you cannot. The original thread was making the statement that you could not commute in the US without a car.

        Which is true, for some places in the us. And some it is.
