Apparently i need more schooling. And akshuwally I’m not even sure where the group I’m subscribed to is hosted😒. I’ll be best next time, thank you Citizen!
Can I just say how much I loved Edinburgh for that? I was able to go to pretty much any bus stop, and have one that goes where I needed to go like every ten minutes.
That was quite a while ago though, and I think they wanted to build a tram network, so maybe that’s changed
What about the women and children? Did they have to walk?
I transported them. I transported them all. Every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They’re like passengers, and I transported them like passengers! I LOVE THEM!
bus
That was unexpectedly wholesome.
Up to 1989 british women and children weren’t issued a bus loicence
They aren’t allowed to go out
1980s ads were stuck in the 1780s, confirmed?
Yes! Gotta save every drop
I agree that personal muscle cars are a “go fuck yourself” to the climate, but look at that bus. It doesn’t look fast because it has no reason to be aerodynamic. That thing is either stopped or going like 30 mph a majority of the time. If driving takes you 15 minutes but taking the bus takes you an hour, those with enough money will trade it to get that time back.
That’s why good public transit networks using multiple modes are important, as well as reducing car infrastructure to disincentivize driving at the same time
Why does it need to be aerodynamic? You know you don’t need a Formula 1 shaped car to go faster than 30mph right?
Also the bus pictured is a London city bus. They can’t go faster anyways because of all the traffic in London. There’s busses designed to go on the highway at least like 60 mph.
That’s why the example 15min vs an hour is not working, because both are stuck in traffic
It’s also the reason why dedicated bus-only lanes are so based. They let the car owners wait in the stupid traffic jam lineup with all the other car owners while the bus chads all fly past them in the bus lane 😎
