      You can’t have one without the other, unless you want to drive your car and expect everyone else to take a bus.

        As a car enthusiast, I want everyone including myself to only have to take mass transit to get where we want to go. I want roads to be narrow, twisty and out of the way. Driving should be for fun, not a necessity.

        Your hostile attitude turns off potential allies in the car enthusiast community.

          Also a car enthusiast, I fully agree. I’d love to take public transit to work and only use my car when I wanted to.

          Coulnd’t agree more. If I am travelling for work I’d much prefer to take a train (so I can do some actual work while commuting) over my car. Sadly, public transportation outside major cities in Canada is a joke. And one that’s been getting less and less funny every year as the governments pumps money into infrastructure projects (roads) while neglecting public transport (wage stagnation, routes being cancelled, etc.)

        I love my new car. I hate driving to work. I’d love to sleep on the hour drive to work, and the hour drive back.

        What I want is to be able to drive to the grocery store, where the parking is underground and not a blight on the city.

        What I want is open roads so I can drive because I want to and not because I need to.
