    Have you ever been on a train? It sucks, a bus 10000% more, buses fuckin suck so much, I’m sorry for you to hear this in the echo chamber which features ‘fuck cars’.

    Have you?

    Trains and buses, when funded, are fine. Millions of people take them every day.

    I work from home but I used to daily commute by train. Walk to station. Wait a few minutes. Get on. Arrive at destination. I read so many books and finished so many games.

        That’s not a general problem with trains that proves they suck. The suck is places have been built out for cars with other modes as after thoughts.

        I live somewhere with much better train and bus coverage, and it makes it easier than driving for the vast majority of trips.

        The day to day suffering is because of cars. So fuck cars. Fuck the culture that made them primary.

        The facts you are using to support your argument point largely to a failure of the particular transit system currently implemented in your country and area.

        When a country invests heavily in car infrastructure, cars are easier to use.
