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.

If my city had maintained (or possibly even upgraded?!) the electric streetcar system we had in place over 100 years ago, there would be around 1 million less cars on the road today, and another couple million less going through the scrap yards. Portland Electric Streetcar System 1915

Anyone who's ever taken Trimet: Look at this map and see what was stolen from you.
