This whole thread is beyond stupid, it's like no one has ever lived out in the sticks and realized that roads are a needed part of life, of course I guess we can not tar and chip roads out to farms, who needs them.
I prefer my 30 minute drive to waterloo than my 2 hour trip on the bus..
Now it's you on the defensive. And frankly, lots of people who don't have an income have cars. That's simply not true.
And I have lived out in the sticks, and it's sad that there are no other options for people to get around, and I advocate fixing that.
And as I've said a number of times, your 2 hour bus trip vs. 30 minute drive has far less to due with transit vs. cars, but instead 60 years of investment and policies favoring one, vs. the other.
But you are right, this conversation is getting stupid, because you are continually being defensive when it is pointed out that driving is so much better because it has been favored, and that it is heavily subsidized.
