I'm not a fan of the whole "fuck cars" movement, simply because Cars are a central staple of American identity. But I can get behind something like this. Public transportation sucks, it always will, because you're forced to deal with the public. Dedicated lanes for these service vehicles is a good idea, as it lowers the time significantly. I also wish we had road coverings with solar on them. There's about 39 million acres of road in America, and we would only need about 14 million acres of solar panels to power the USA. AND we'd get shade while driving, reducing the need to run A/C.
so are gun homicides and police brutality. and obesity...and anti-science conspiracy theories...and wealth inequality...
Don't forget bigotry and homophobia!
