My brother in Christ, this is the exact reason why we are pushing for better public transportation and reduced car dependency.
We dream of a world where, god forbid your car breaks down, you can make it to work within roughly the same amount of time whether you walk, bike, or take the bus. And this isn’t even a fantasy, this dream is alive and well in The Netherlands, Japan, even fucking Disneyland.
We just need to actually start taking Public Transit seriously in this country so that it can improve.
Not just that, but also the occasional trip that does end up needing a car will be much less annoying with fewer people on the roads
