As much as I love a good Ten Minutes Hate directed at some carbrain too lazy to walk 4km, it seems I'm going to have to be the one to point out that it's entirely possible that this person's route to work is far too dangerous to walk, let alone cycle.
Just look at that strip of paint some of you are calling a bike lane. Maybe you would be willing to risk your life squeezing amongst the monster trucks on a bike, but I certainly wouldn't. And walk? Breathing all those tailpipe fumes for 30-60min? Hell no. This person may well be looking at 4km of car-exclusive road to get to work.
So instead of ripping into this poor soul for being lazy, maybe we should be considering the very real possibility that their options are limited by poor infrastructure/planning/politics.
If only there was some kind of enlongated multi-passanger vehicle they could use
How do you know there is?
And if there is I don't see a dedicated lane.
I would still bus on principle because I'm a masochist and stubborn. But I get it when people don't if the infrastructure isn't good.
