The United States seems to always have disproportionately high rates of things that kill people compared to other developed nations. 🤔

    It’s toddler-like behaviour. They don’t even realize how it would benefit them, because they are so short-sighted.

      Seriously, transit helps even car drivers but they don’t see it at all. More trains and busses mean less cars. Less traffic, less demand for parking. It’s a win win for everyone.

      My city has extra taxes because we’re investing in rail and infrastructure and people are just so freaking bitchy about it. “I’m not even going to use it!!!”. Right, but other people will, and that will make the city easier to use for everyone.

      Cue them bitching on other posts about “I never go into the city there’s no parking!!” or “I can’t go to concerts it takes too long to get in and out”. Have you thought about parking and riding into the city?!
