We should really be investing more in public transit, it’s way better than electric cars and could be way more convenient if implemented properly

What purpose does this serve other than alienating the people you’re trying to get on your side?

You have to have the alternatives in place before you can convince people to make a change.

Buses already take hours vs. minutes and any road construction that closes stops & routes down adds time and distance to an already long commute.

If you want people to choose your option, you have to make it an option worth choosing.

It’s more like a chicken or egg problem. No alternative without masses knowing about the problem. It took me 25 years to see what we sacrifice for cars. Maybe this flashy billboard approach helps to shorten that time for someone else.

I agree with all of these except the last one.

Cars don’t ruin cities, the assholes that drive them do.

It’s a joke lol, just a stab at the people driving cars in cities.

If you’ve ever spent any amount of time driving a car someplace like say, Atlanta GA, you’d know exactly where I’m getting at.

I spend time driving in Los Angeles.

Cars are bad for everything. Bad drivers (which is everyone, including me) only make it worse.

I can spend 17 minutes driving to work, or 1.5 hours catching buses. Easy choice for me.

“The only factor I care about is my own personal convenience. Nothing else will influence my choices that affect others.” That’s you.

Literally no one is going to quadruple their commute as a good deed. Right or wrong.

People are struggling for free time from capitalistic slavery as it is.
