I didn’t download this, but if I had, it would be because:

1. People already have cars and already need infrastructure, which is (in most cases) already in place, but requiring maintenance for safety reasons
2. It’s only zero-sum if you can’t afford both
3. Public transportation has a bad reputation in the US around safety, hygiene, etc. Not everywhere, some cities do a great job. Unclear where this meme is taking place.
4. I can cross state lines in my car, but not with a tram, making it less versatile - I can go anywhere I want, in fact.
5. I control the heating, air, music, occupancy, etc. of my car - Not so on public transportation.
6. I control my car’s schedule to the minute. No interstitial travel to get to it, no waiting for it to arrive.
7. Some people use a car as a form of self expression. I don’t, but there’s plenty who do.
8. You may have to share a seat with someone. Plenty of folks don’t want to do that.

Shit I just saw what community I’m in. Sorry, ya’ll - I didn’t realize. I’m new here. 9. They down-voted because this showed up on someone’s feed that didn’t subscribe specifically to a community that already hates cars.

Good. DM me. I’ll tell you why I downvoted your shitpost.
