I can pay $3 to ride the train to midtown in ~40 minutes. Or I could drive, and deal with all the pain points of traffic and parking and take… ~40 minutes.
That’s great if your life is so droll that anything and everything you do fits within a 20sq mi radius.
Obviously the second half was being sarcastic.
I’d be okay with people being ticketed for driving trucks with only 1 passenger and not using them for hauling anything. I’d love to see smaller cars on the road that were designed to only hold a single person and be as efficient at that task as possible.
Trains, and busses, are a huge tradeoff in time savings. And have you seen the types of people who take trains/busses? No fucking thanks.
