I don’t really agree, cars are for moving people around. People can move themselves around. Trucks are for moving things, they’re tools. I have a truck, I need it. Not all the time, but enough of the time that I have one. It doesn’t make sense for me to have 2 cars so I just drive it. Although I do agree they’re getting too fucking big. I’ve got an older heavy duty pickup truck and the thing is the size of a new “small” pickup, it’s a bit absurd.
I think people are just confused on how that would actually work, it’s like boomers staring at a roundabout thinking it’s making traffic worse. People are so used to congested streets with cars that looking at the example probably gives them anxiety thinking about navigating it.
Now look, I’m not a bus commuter, but I’ve been riding buses all over Europe and beyond, and I immediately just hold onto anything that’s in reach.
As a matter of fact, as long as there’s not a visibly old/pregnant/disabled/etc person around, I’ll make sure getting a seat no matter what and something to hold onto.
At this point I’m quite certain there’s a secret society of bus drivers with chapters all over the world, and their motto is “drive like there’s no tomorrow” and they all have “NO FUTURE” tattoed in huge black capital letters on their chests.
Just an informal poll for commuters to shake up the community feel a bit… sparked this morning being on a crowded bus. On my bus, it was about 4 people holding bars per person holding a loop.
There were 6-12 wild turkeys in my neighborhood. Once in a while, a driver would kill them. It was always a sad moment when you notice there’s some missing.
During the pandemic, there was over 30. Nature was healing.
Unfortunately I moved before knowing if their fate has changed.
if you don’t think 68 people trying to drive 68 cars on the same route is going to cause congestion on the roads, and thus “halting”, where do you think traffic jams come from?
