@cm0002 @ByteOnBikes yes, but the idea that EV's solve things makes people think it is okay to not be all in on PT.
And it's not okay.

@spankmonkey @PonyOfWar I caught a public bus to high school. To get an extra 20m of sleep I caught the one that didn't go into the school and stopped on the wrong side of the road 1m before school started. To not be late we'd all walk out across the 4 lane road without looking. Cars will just stop.
After someone was rear ended the stop was removed.
@avidamoeba My gravel bike is steel. Steel is a good material to make bikes from. That is bikes intended to be used and repaired.
@avidamoeba @mapto Those are back because they are really sensible bikes for riding the places and ways most people cycle.
@PhilthyHabits @JackbyDev What's my point? Australian stadiums are better than the worst examples from the US, but they aren't fantastic.
@PhilthyHabits @JackbyDev Melbourne's big stadiums do have substantial car parks, but they are also a short walk from at least 1 central train station with ~10 platforms.
@PowerCrazy I think even those examples are more on the less side, they aren't continuing to grow that way. But they are good places to live because of how close to those ideals they still are.
@dessalines @PowerCrazy No, it really is feasible to have PT close enough to everyone's house. Some will choose a bike to cut 15m walking into 5m riding, but it isn't required.
Part of that is that every neighbourhood needs all types of housing. Okay, not every one needs high rise apartments. But medium rise next to the station above the restaurants and retail, surrounded by town houses, surrounded by units, surrounded by 1/3rd acre house blocks
It really isn't crazy
