c/fuckcars
Fuck cars is nothing but city dwellers that think their lifestyle is scalable to suburbs or the sticks.
Fuck suburbs too
indubitably based.

I definitely want a more expansive public transportation system out here in the foot hills. A high-speed rail network to connect us to other parts of the state would be awesome. But it isn't feasible to get rid of all cars completely. A single parent out here can't be expected to make multiple bike trips for the equivalent of one grocery store run, up and down hills to feed multiple children and work a full time job. Some people out here live on roads where cars can barely drive on let alone a bus. edit: typo
You've identified the problem. Now for solutions!
The solution is individual vehicles for transportation. Congestion is not an issue in the sticks.

Can I just say how much I loved Edinburgh for that? I was able to go to pretty much any bus stop, and have one that goes where I needed to go like every ten minutes.
That was quite a while ago though, and I think they wanted to build a tram network, so maybe that's changed
Best not to mention the trams in Edinburgh. They finally finished the line (all the way from the airport to the port in Leith) but it cost waaay more than planned, had to be done in two phases and was a massive ballache during the construction.
That said, it is an absolute win for public transport in the city but it did knock the confidence of residents. Mostly down to the piss poor management of the project by the council.

What about the women and children? Did they have to walk?
I transported them. I transported them all. Every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. Theyβre like passengers, and I transported them like passengers! I LOVE THEM!

They aren't allowed to go out
1980s ads were stuck in the 1780s, confirmed?

I agree that personal muscle cars are a "go fuck yourself" to the climate, but look at that bus. It doesn't look fast because it has no reason to be aerodynamic. That thing is either stopped or going like 30 mph a majority of the time. If driving takes you 15 minutes but taking the bus takes you an hour, those with enough money will trade it to get that time back.
Why does it need to be aerodynamic? You know you don't need a Formula 1 shaped car to go faster than 30mph right?
Also the bus pictured is a London city bus. They can't go faster anyways because of all the traffic in London. There's busses designed to go on the highway at least like 60 mph.

That's why good public transit networks using multiple modes are important, as well as reducing car infrastructure to disincentivize driving at the same time
