  • As a proud member of the fuck cars community, I wish the US (and Canada) would invest in their national public transportation systems. It annoys me to no end when people go “but the country is soooo big it would cost so much money” meanwhile you have a functioning passenger train system running through the majority of Europe, fast train systems through most of China, Japan, South Korea…

    The problem is that landowners aren’t willing to make space for rails, and unlike most countries, the railroad companies have no interest in passenger trains.

    Invest in public transportation, get rid of 30 lanes highways and city centres, promote bike lanes and public transportation, tram busses, subways, LRT, anything. Make your cities more accessible. Ban cars, idk
