I have no idea where the nearest bus stop to my house is but I’m guessing it is over a half mile away. According to my Apple Watch it is supposed to be 110 degrees outside today. Does that help clarify why people might want door to door service if they were getting a ride whether public transportation or taxi?
- ornornor 3y agoIt’s hard to overlook the irony. It is so warm partly because we’ve been pushing polluting convenience over a little extra effort with less pollution. You should be agitating your government to make public transit an attractive alternative (because walking half a mile to the public bus stop in 43C weather is absolutely unreasonable). As long as public transit in the US is so crappy and unattractive, it’s a slam dunk for building more car infrastructure and exacerbate the problems further.
