I don’t understand… do you not go to places where the poor go? Is there no transit to take you to parks and malls and theaters and stadiums? I suspect it’s more that taking your private vehicle is easier and faster, and not because there isn’t service - it probably just sucks.
- azthecx 1y agoIn general the public transit system in the US is so underfunded and badly executed when compared to road infrastructure that only disadvantaged people that can't afford car transportation will even consider using it.
- pixelatedindex 1y agoYes but that’s not by “design” like you alluded to. It’s because the advantaged people with cars don’t really care about funding the transit system. So if anything the “design” of transit, only taking the poor to where they want seems purposefully molded by the privileged.
