Tyler Simonds@chu oh wow
Jan Antoš@tylersi @chu me living in village close to #Tallinn (#Estonia), 25km from work in Tallinn , cca 1 Euro with local bus to closest municipality center and then bus to Tallinn for 2 Euro (that means both ways for 6 eur together). My hybrid SUV takes 5.7 litres on 100 km (so the same trip will cost me 4.25) using SUV for commuting is cheaper by 1.75 Eur. And I am not even talking it saves me almost 2 hours of time (yes car is usually quicker) each day I travel to office I can spend with my family. No one can blame me, I am not using Public Transport. PS: if someone would like to accuse me, that I am liar, because Tallinn has free public transport, be aware it is free for Tallinn residents only. So two takeaways, either it is insane how public transport can be expensive or how efficient SUV can be.
HyL☮️🚲🇨🇦@BrentToderian For cities wanting to reduce cars, here is a good example of the importance of regional rapid transit (from @tylersi). But do you know of examples that are working to replace the peri-urban/para-rural commute by car? Toronto has the Go Train, Vancouver the SkyTrain, but I'm not sure they're the most successful examples? https://f.cz/@janantos/115761968019626526

@HyL @BrentToderian @tylersi @chu another part is, waiting 15-20 min for connecting bus in winter in -15 degrees of Celsius is also not helping.
