    Public transit would be great if you didn’t have to ride with other people. That’s my real problem with it in America at least; there are always loud and gross people aboard. My town has phenomenal bud infrastructure, but people drive because it’s faster, and because you don’t have to be around undesirable people.

    Maybe public transportation where each person or group could ride in their own automated pod, which would be publicly owned. That way you could still go skiing/hiking/etc, since mass transportation to those places is very difficult due to low volume.

      or you could bring in headphones to public transport like the rest of us

      also lmao “public transportation where each person or group could ride in their own automated pod”, you’re either advocating for taxis or straight up segregation

        That only helps so much when DJ Cool and his gang of bruvs crank out tingy crap at 200% volume from a cheap bluetooth speaker.

        Ideally, public transport needs more funding and more onboard security to help calm that sort of thing down

      Fuck off, that’s a societal problem.

      Fix that first, it’s a minor thing in modern countries
