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?
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. ๐
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).
Nooooooo public transit is perrrrrfect you should want to deal with raving lunatics during your commute.
Seems more like you're pointing to other systemic issues of your shithole country.
That's fine. I deal with the symptoms as needed.
