Speaking of which, is there a r/fuckcars equivalent over here?

They’ll just block the other lane while they do it lol

Meanwhile who is building interstates? Meanwhile the i95 bridge will be open in just a few weeks...

you dropped this "/s"

Please no motorcycles they are annoying and loud as fuck

In most countries with public transport you only have to wait 10-15 minutes for the next bus on that line.

Public transport is great in cities, but as soon as things get more sparsely populated, you get diminishing returns. Everything takes longer, runs infrequently, and still barely gets you close.

But then if they run more frequently, they'd be empty.

Yet, where I live, they keep introducing hostile rules, new houses can only have one parking space, at a time where kids are having to live with their parents for longer, so their mobility, job opportunities, etc are really hampered. It would be one thing if there was decent public transport infrastructure, but there's literally nothing, just people becoming 'stuck' because those who make the rules often don't think about areas as a whole.

30 mins is pretty jarring even for U.S. standard. Especially during commute time.

In other countries I have been to most buses take at most 15 mins to come. Trains typically take around 5 mins, and much more frequent during rush hour (around 2 to 1 mins per train).

Another problem with U.S. transportation system is the poor investment on train (somehow people are into those "Hyperloop" when a normal subway system has been demonstrated time and time again to already be way more efficient than car). For buses, its speed is limited by traffic, so it is unlikely for bus to be faster than cars.

Another thing I would like to point out is that time is not "wasted" on transport, you can read, browse social media, news, watch videos, things you cannot do in a car. And you can enjoy music with a much better sound system (aka head phones), which is not safe in a car.

I prefer a rock solid public transport system, and plenty of safe walking areas and no-car zones. EVs help minimally in the grand scheme, since they are costly to produce, especially the batteries.

That's true, but electric cars won't fix the core issue of car dependency and massive traffic jams

The two issues I have with current EVs is you can't work on them and they don't last as long as gas vehicles.

I have a old suburu and it still runs fine

It's still there. The track network at least. Hasn't been updated either.

Fuck yeah! Fuckcars

Any large city period.
Seriously, I live in The Netherlands which is the size of a post stamp, even we cannot make public transport work (especially outside of the larger cities), thus we also have to deal with traffic jams. All the comments of the "Fuck Cars" community are quite ignorant on the issue that public transport can only work efficiently in cities, not to connect rural areas to those cities.

Electric cars won' make a difference. Braking/accordioning is a human pilot failure. Self-Driving (autonomous) vehicles will reduce this because lidar doesn't get distracted by incoming text messages or road trance.

...until you go plowing into that guy who just whipped in front of you and locked 'em up. I bet he braked at well more than .3 g. Additonally, you'll likely get rear ended since your brake lights won't light. (Technology Connections discusses this in better detail.)

I love electric cars but let's work towards trams, buses, and trains. electric cars are the red herring of solutions for traffic, climate, etc...
