trains, busses, and bikes exist
personally I would rather turn a hour long commute across state lines into a four hour long walk.
think of how thick my calves would be!

That and I was talking more about infrastructure where you could easily walk to places too instead of having to drive everywhere

maybe where you live. closest train station is an hour away from me.
closest bus stop is an hour away from me
riding a bicycle would make my hour long commute two hours.
if I drove to a bus stop and rode a bus the rest of the way to work it would still take me two hours.
it’s always a black or white solution with you people and you never think of the grey area. dare I say at least 50% of the US population falls into the grey. if a solution fails to accommodate for more than half a population it’s not a solution, it’s just ineffective.

it always interesting to people who say ‘with current levels of funding’.
because taxes should be going to give you a closer train stop…..

they should, but that’s not the reality we live in.

Says the guy unnecessarily inserting USA in the discussion.
We are well aware your transit sucks. No need to tell us again and again.

Average walking speed is 4km/h. So in four hours, you’d go 16km. If it takes you an hour to go 16km by car, then you’d literally be faster on a bike, because you can go past traffic without stopping

60mph, takes an hour, 60 miles distance.
that’s around 97km.
I guess my math was wrong, at 4km/h it would take me 24 hours, not 4.
👍 thanks!
