An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

That just isn’t true, you just said you could ride a train. You choose not to, that’s a big difference.

But saying rail is significantly slower you narrow your nationality to maybe 5 major nations one happens to be significantly more represented on Lemmy. The “need” to drive safe over reaction to the guess means I’m almost certainly correct. Am I not?

Tbf to the guy you’re responding to, getting the extra 2-3 days of PTO necessary to take the train may also be a contributing factor. There’s a hidden work reform issue baked into this that also needs addressing.

An optional “profession” that steals money from qualified taxis and is also super abusive towards its employees. That’s not an excuse, that’s an explanation an kinda of a bad one at that.

It’s not stealing if it doesn’t take it out of their wallet. Maybe the issue is instead the expensive restrictions on becoming a taxi driver? Or the virtual monopoly many taxi companies have. Or just that almost always a taxi is a worse experience.
