I don't get the point of highlighting "public transport". Maybe you're not explaining your point very well, or not understanding mine.
My point is that no public transport options are practical as logistics solutions, especially for last-mile delivery, and therefore ripping out the roads completely (as proposed in the article) will never be practical. There will always be a need for small, independently powered vehicles to fill the gaps.
No, this 'entire fucking topic' is about ripping city roads out completely. It's the title of the article.
Let me educate you, 1 cell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbole
I'm sorry, you think this article is hyperbole? I didn't realize it was published by the Onion.
Also if you feel you need to be regularly derogatory in order to make your point, your point probably isn't worth making. Or maybe you could just be more creative with it? If I wanted a rerun I'd just go back and read your previous comments.
