You might even be able to sell a "solution" to the inefficiency you created out of profitability.

It's extra funny cause city ppl are actually subsidizing car infrastructure in the burbs.

Or your bus is late because impatient drivers won't let it merge back into traffic, and it doesn't get signal priority so 20 people on a bus could be wating at a red just to let 4 cars make a left turn. Since these factors slow the bus down, people find other ways like getting a car, and then the bus doesn't get used and the city can't fix it by just throwing money at.

Bring back dedicated transit lanes and transit priority. Lets make transit faster than driving because it really should be.

I do my best to be the change I want to see in the world and always de emphasize the significance of a vehicle as a status symbol.

I do it in small ways like not noticing what other people drive. Not taking a specific interest if someone wants to talk expensive cars. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but I don’t want to give people the satisfaction over something that’s harmful to humans and harmful to the environment. Going out of my way to complement others about driving a vehicle that clearly meets their needs.

In general, I think we’d do well not to celebrate excess. We should recognize enough when we see it and strive for enough.

Maybe you could start with wearing the truck nutz yourself?
