I'm not gonna make fun of american public transport as the netherlands just completely locked up for a few days cause of snow.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

I mean, there's plenty of car infrastructure that just completely breaks down under snow pressure as well, so I wouldn't feel bad about this

I agree as I live in the Netherlands too. But tbh I've also lived in america and you dutch people have nothing to complain about relative to Americans.

Maybe, but at least there is enough public transport to lock up. There's not enough in most of the USA to be noticeable.

No school buses around?

[–] mjr@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The public aren't still allowed to ride school buses there, are they? Child protection duties have ended that in many places.

Ouch.

Sometimes, and increasingly, no.
