See Thats the issue, you hit it right in the head! Do we have even halfway decent transit, bus routes and trains? No we do not.
Fix the transit and fund it so it doesn’t cost me $5 to travel 10km in 3 hours, and I’ll consider saying fuck cars too. But 99.9% of anti car people live in this fantasy world where transit is lovely and funded like the military and everything is accessible to everyone always.
Get your head out your asses and realize that in order to reduce cars, we need to give people ways to get around.
And one thing bike hipsters love is to ignore anyone with disabilities or families, cause they’re selfish and think everyone is a silver spoon downtown baby.
why don’t I throw my wheelchair ass on a bicycle, and toss my kids on my shoulders and ride them to school and the doctor in -20 winter. Cause fuck cars?
So... the pro-car infrastructure is to blame? That sounds like fuck cars to me. Disability friendly buses and trams are a thing too.
The guy you were replying to was even asking for better train and bus lanes, not even mentioning bikes.
It it’s not FUCK CARS grow up, it’s FUCK THE POLITICIANS UNDERFUNDING TRANSIT AND ECO VEHICLES ON BEHALF OF CORPORATIONS.
us blaming each other is exactly what they want. You blaming a family who NEEDS a car to survive and get around is what they get off on
