La soluzione al #traffico era già nota nel 1927
In un manifesto dell’azienda di trasporto di Wichita Falls, si chiede di dare priorità al trasporto di massa, perché molto più efficiente: in un #tram possono sedersi comodamente le persone portate da ben 28 #auto (con 2 persone per auto, stima ottimistica).
100 anni fa era già tutto li: problema e soluzione

Yea but the street car won’t drop me off directly at my door in the suburbs 20 minutes out of town where I pay cheaper property taxes. Why should my taxes pay for something only the city people can use? Once my car is parked downtown it isn’t in anyone’s way while I’m at work. /s
Most on the main road in my area is one person. How many times have I missed the bus and had to wait 20 mins for the next one, because I can’t cross the road to the stop, because 4 people need to get by in their cars.
Or your bus is late because impatient drivers won’t let it merge back into traffic, and it doesn’t get signal priority so 20 people on a bus could be wating at a red just to let 4 cars make a left turn. Since these factors slow the bus down, people find other ways like getting a car, and then the bus doesn’t get used and the city can’t fix it by just throwing money at.
Bring back dedicated transit lanes and transit priority. Lets make transit faster than driving because it really should be.
yea, but how can i show off my gigantic clownshoes pavement princess with truck nutz if i’m sitting in a street car?
I do my best to be the change I want to see in the world and always de emphasize the significance of a vehicle as a status symbol.
I do it in small ways like not noticing what other people drive. Not taking a specific interest if someone wants to talk expensive cars. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but I don’t want to give people the satisfaction over something that’s harmful to humans and harmful to the environment. Going out of my way to complement others about driving a vehicle that clearly meets their needs.
In general, I think we’d do well not to celebrate excess. We should recognize enough when we see it and strive for enough.
lol i’ve been doing this since high school. one time i rode with a buddy in his brand new mustang and i just kept yammering on about whatever we talked about back in the day, giving zero reaction or comment to his peeling out, stunt car driving etc. you could feel the inflated sense of superiority evaporate from the vicinity
Maybe you could start with wearing the truck nutz yourself?
Less likely to be randomly assaulted in my car though
Have you run the numbers to compare getting assaulted vs dying in a traffic accident?
Far, far more likely to actually die.
I both ride the bus and drive frequently. I’ve never been assaulted in either case.
…therefor no one ever has?
