Yeah I understand. I've seen many responses along the lines of "my drive to work is 30 minutes; if I had to take public transit then it's 3 buses in 90 minutes"

Yeah I understand. I've seen many responses along the lines of "my drive to work is 30 minutes; if I had to take public transit then it's 3 buses in 90 minutes". So far, I'm tolerant to those comments. What I have a problem with is that instead of saying that a car works for them personally, they start attacking the people who challenge the car-dominated status quo. They propose ridiculous edge cases as gotchas, blithely ignore any evidence presented, and make it clear that you're an idiot for proposing any idea that differs from the norm. Furthermore, they fiercely attack any incremental change - whether it be congestion pricing or upzoning or adding bus-only lanes - even when every time it has been tried the populace is satisfied with the outcome after it gets implemented.
