Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pothole purge saw nearly 8,000 craters filled in a single day – the same number that would usually take New York’s Department of Transport (DOT) a week.
As a non-American, how far does this strawman get his food from? A lot of food couriers in my city get by with bikes and public transit. Same with uber, do you guys not have trains? (Or buses)
Tokyo seems to be bigger than New York and it’s only issue with transit AFAIK is overcrowding, which is also a consequence of other things.
My “USA state”-sized country can get me from one end to another in less than a day of trains too.
The issue still doesn’t sound to be size, but awful management over decades. It’s too far gone to easily fix, and it’s not the people’s fault, but it still sounds like something to take the piss out of the country for.
See Thats the issue, you hit it right in the head! Do we have even halfway decent transit, bus routes and trains? No we do not.
Fix the transit and fund it so it doesn’t cost me $5 to travel 10km in 3 hours, and I’ll consider saying fuck cars too. But 99.9% of anti car people live in this fantasy world where transit is lovely and funded like the military and everything is accessible to everyone always.
Get your head out your asses and realize that in order to reduce cars, we need to give people ways to get around.
And one thing bike hipsters love is to ignore anyone with disabilities or families, cause they’re selfish and think everyone is a silver spoon downtown baby.
why don’t I throw my wheelchair ass on a bicycle, and toss my kids on my shoulders and ride them to school and the doctor in -20 winter. Cause fuck cars?

Tens of millions of Americans quite literally don’t have either of those things available to them for delivery services.
A German ex once told me that “people from the EU simply cannot understand how large and spread out the USA is until they travel here.”

JFC, I’m talking about delivery via local mass transit. Of course we have long distance passenger trains.
Your response literally highlights my previous statement. This issue w/ the USA is undercrowding as far as mass transit goes.

So… the pro-car infrastructure is to blame? That sounds like fuck cars to me. Disability friendly buses and trams are a thing too.
The guy you were replying to was even asking for better train and bus lanes, not even mentioning bikes.
It it’s not FUCK CARS grow up, it’s FUCK THE POLITICIANS UNDERFUNDING TRANSIT AND ECO VEHICLES ON BEHALF OF CORPORATIONS.
us blaming each other is exactly what they want. You blaming a family who NEEDS a car to survive and get around is what they get off on
