The extra bus routes are not for you, but for other drivers that do live closer and can trade their car commute by a bus ride. This, in turn, alleviates road congestion for everyone else, _including_ people like you who have no option but to drive!
So, ironically, what you are complaining about (and would probably vote against if given the choice) is something that could benefit you.
But hey, at least you have your freedom or something.
- akozak 4y agoThis is really important to understand. Someone explained to me once how small changes (low single digit reduction) to cars on the road leads to huge congestion benefits. I'm sure someone on HN will have a good citation. Public transportation helps you have your luxury experience.
