@mycatiskai@admiralteal yeah but electric vehicles still require the mining of rare metals to build their batteries and wide roads to accommodate all the traffic. Taking a bus or light rail would be better. #FuckCars
I absolutely agree electric cars are a band-aid on a seeping wound. Public transit is the answer, the highways should have to give over a lane to rail traffic. The routes and customers for the train are already there.
If you saw a train full of people blowing past the traffic you were stuck in, you would be on the train the next day.
Shoutout to Notjustbikes on YouTube for the fantastic content about transit systems.
@mycatiskai “f you saw a train full of people blowing past the traffic you were stuck in, you would be on the train the next day.”
You would think so, but the SF Bay Area proves that’s not how it works in the US. Even though the light rail is much faster at rush hour, many people still drive
