In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
I feel sorry for them. But then again, this is what they want.
They oppose making parking expensive.
They oppose bus lanes
They oppose bike lanes.
They oppose trains
They oppose train stations.
They oppose congestion pricing.
They basically oppose any measure that might reduce car dependency.
Okay but there are a lot of tricks and those carry the goods you use every day. Yes, freight trains exist but you still need trucks to get them to the last mile. Roads are still the best for moving the kind of merchandise the western world consumes.
The cars should not really be with the trucks, the trucks should stick to a couple lanes.
So, you're saying the entire system is fucked? I agree.
If all the cars were removed from the photo, the trucks would be moving at highway speed.
