    I like my electric car, but the fact that I have to own a car, maintain it, and pay insurance on it is such bullshit when I’m only 4 miles from my job, and bus service doesn’t run until 9AM. Fuck all this stroad BS bring back trolleys.

      What annoys me about lacking public transit is that the problems caused by a lack of use and a lack of funding are always what the naysayers against public transportation point to as examples why it sucks.

      It sucks because you dumbasses don’t put money into it to make it not suck! (The “you” being a generalization of the people against public transportation)

      people just shouldn’t need to personally own a car unless they live in the middle of nowhere, anywhere vaguely densely populated you should have usable public transport and carshare systems so you can just book a car when you actually want to use it, and those times should be pretty few and far between (even going on a leisure ride every other day is way way way way less usage than we see right now)
