Americans can understand if you phrase it differently.
"You know how sometimes, you go to a big event, and the parking is so far away from the event that they have to ferry people from the parking lots to the event using a bus? Well, this is just like that, except you park at home."
Is that… commonism?
Commuteism
Yep. Textbook.
This is like baby proofing the world for Americans.
I refuse to take any kind of public transport. That's why I carry my own elevator with me in case I need to enter a skyscraper.
Sounds amazing?! The bus just picks you up at home?
Well, even when you park in the parking lot, you have to walk to the area where the bus stops in order to pick you up. For the sake of convenience, let's call that area a "bus stop." So, you simply need to find the "bus stop" near your home.
Okay but when you drive to the "bus stop" near your home, where do you park your pickup truck? And, are there multiple sizes of bus? If not, how will my community know that I'm the manliest man, if I don't roll up in the biggliest vehicle?
That's the good thing about it: you will roll up in the biggliest vehicle, one bigglier than most people will ever drive themselves!
That sounds reasonable. So it's like a meet up point for me, my neighbors, and the bus...
I actually lol'd. (not actually, but I'm in a better mood than I was before reading it, so it's as close to 'lol' as it gets)
Well you have to walk like 5min to the next....
Nevermind, car it is.
I actually love this way of phrasing it so much I've saved your comment.
Imagine McDonalds Drive in, but instead of everyone has his own car, everyone has 1 big car they ride in.
