    A lack of infrastructure is not a failure of the train, it is a failure of us to properly utilise the train.

    I mean obviously you would never build a train line to every campsite. That’s what busses are for.

    This is an extremist comment that posits no future for personal vehicles.

    It’s neither contrarian nor bait to call out such statements as doing more harm than good.

      No. You assume that calls for more trains and public transport is a call to eliminate personal vehicles. Those two things are not the same you made an illogical jump from we need better transit options to ban all cars. Here’s an idea what if better infrastructure took more cars off the road leading to less traffic for those who choose to keep a personal vehicle? Reading through your comments hurts my brain man half the time you seem like a level headed guy then you go off into left field call people communists and extremists just like that.

        Yes I would literally always choose to have a personal vehicle.

        I don’t really care about your opinion. I don’t think your opinions are valuable. Your opinion of me seems entirely based on whether or not you think I agree with you, and most of the time your assumption there is probably wrong

        For instance, I am heavily in favor of increases in public/mass transportation.

        The people I’m responding to self-identify as those things. They aren’t insults. They’re acknowledgements of reality

          Same to you dude, it is not an opinion that no where in this thread has anyone called for the complete removal of personal vehicles you put words in peoples mouths to create arguments. You have too much time on your hands. Find a productive hobby dude.
