They really want us to love cars. But why would we love being car dependent?
Dependency is never freedom. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices.

No. The argument is that, if you don’t already have alternative infrastructure, you are not free without a car (in most of the US). You often can’t even work.
I actually looked into public transportation because of this thread. My city operates a bus service, but doesn’t come to my part of town. I don’t live in a bad part of town. They just… don’t come this way. I’d have to walk something like 3 miles to get to the nearest bus station.
I feel like they did the bare minimum to say they did something, maybe for tax purposes?
I’m not too mad. I have a car. But now I know not having one is less of an option (and the bus doesn’t get within 30 miles of my job, so yeah, I need my car to get to work).
