It's not just speed. Public transportation entails being closed in a small space with a completely uncontrolled group of the general public. When normal people think public transportation they aren't considering how well driving scales, they think cell phones blasting music out loud, homeless people, conversations on speaker phone, and random acts of violence.
Until that is fixed, people are going to prefer private transportation.
- fragmede 1y agoIt is. Try living in a civilized country, rather than one who's people aren't known internationally for being rude and having guns.
- rayiner 1y agoNew York City doesn’t have guns but is dirty and full of rude people. Salt Lake City has lots of guns and is clean and full of really nice people.

Anywhere out of downtown and you find that rapidly disappearing). My former employer was in SLC so I spent a lot of time there. NYC people are superficially rude, sure, as a stereotype. But when I've had a genuine issue or question, I've found most people there willing to help. SLC people are just as superficially "really nice", for that comparison.
- rsynnott 1y agoDo you actually regularly take public transport, or is this just what you imagine it to be like?
