Lol yeah, who would want their own personal vehicle they can use to go where they want and on what route they want without having to share with total strangers who can and will hurt you when you can ride the filthy, bedbug-ridden, urine-soaked train next to the crazy homeless guy jacking off right in front of you?

Thinking anyone who has ever seen violence on a bus or a train gives a shit

Thinking women in third world countries who are sexually harassed on public transport should just put up with it to make you happy

Thinking “enlightened, developed” aka white countries are free of violence simply because they are in line with what you want

You’re not going to sway anyone into giving up their autonomy just because you don’t like the way they live. If you’re so butthurt about it, why wouldn’t you just band together with the other NPCs, put a pot of money together, buy a shitload of land out in the boonies, incorporate it into a separate county and just build a walkable city of your own?

But you won’t, because you’re too lazy, selfish, and lack initiative, and that’s why you’ll never get the world you want.

If you don’t give a shit about dying… then I can just be lazy and wait I guess, no need to argue. 😉

You know the issues you’re bringing up aren’t caused by public transit, right? You’re so emotional over this and tear down the idea of public transit instead of giving a shit about mental healthcare in your country.

So now neither issue is solved, interesting perspective. You ever consider that traffic might be better for people like you who are deathly afraid of interacting with others if more people use public transportation?

Because no one’s talked about forcing you on a bus or flatly banning the existence of cars. You’re latching onto a hyper exaggerated scenario so you can act hysterical while feeling justified. You aren’t, you just have a small mind that’s easily manipulated into being against your own best interests.

As it stands now everyone needs to invest thousands of dollars to acquire and maintain something that is essentially required to participate in modern society. If you like doing that then more power to you, but everyone else just wants to have a choice.

Cars are fine, they’re just a terrible default for everyone.

What post-apocalyptic hellscape do you live in? And here I was, thinking I live in a third-world country.

Most major cities with extensive public transport have these problems. You’re the one living in denial. And denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

I live in a major city and frequently travel by bus and metro. I go to my hometown once a month or so, by train. Haven’t experienced these horrors (yet).

Seems more like you’re pointing to other systemic issues of your shithole country.
