• People who advocate for better public transportation usually also advocate for walkable neighborhoods. Your grandparents would not need a car to go to grocery, it’ll be at a walking distance. Same for doctors.

    As for emergencies, yes, a car would be nice. But you can always get a can in that situation. No need to destroy the planet every other day.

    Let me ask you this, have you ever done anything outside of a car only dystopia?

      My god are you privileged. 2 towns 30km apart. Less than 10k population not trainstation, no doc, no hospital. Calling people words that just live and work for others is such a cunt move.

        Are you willingly missing the point? Those town exist like this due to having a car centered society. Look at any other country where car isn’t the only means of transportation. Towns are closer together, with shared infrastructure so that such a situation does not arise in the first place. That’s what everyone’s advocating for. No one’s calling you a monster for using cars in a car dependent society. But realize that things can be better, and vote for change whenever possible.

        And about the privileged thing, I literally grew up in rural India lol.

        Edit: Also, who called you any word? Don’t play victim here.

          You literally said that I’m destroying an entire car just by using it to help others.

          If you only use products that don’t use trucks or cars in their product chain, good. If not, shut the fuck up.

          And yes, you’re privileged when you think it’s good to remove a transport vehicle to help others.

            What? Do you think using a truck to carry goods for hundreds of people and using a car everyday mostly to transport one person are same things?

            Also, who said anything about destroying a car? I said that car culture is destroying our planet, which is a fact. You’re the one taking it personally lol.
