Trains

[–] Torvum 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trains can't deliver me straight to my house 20+ miles away from the centralized depot. Nor can they allow me the freedom to visit my family if they live in a remote area. Not everyone wants to live in a shithole city because everything is 'in walking distance'. I'm content with life in a village, but cars are necessary for day to day. Instead of throwing a blanket on the entire industry and saying it needs to be torn down like some extremist weirdo, accept you can keep the design as intended and increase the overall friendliness of the tool.
