    It makes a good point but only if your country actually has public transport.

    If you live somewhere with zero public transport, the car is your only option.

      You make a good point but only if your country actually has roads.

      If you live somewhere with no paved roads and only railroads, then that and walking are your only options.

      (Sarcasm but I’m curious if you see the point)

          Well yes, except all the railroads where removed. Just lifted trucks and gravel roads as far as the eye can see.

        You make a good point but only if your country has people.

        If you live somewhere with no people and only animals, then you can’t get anywhere and must traverse the jungle with a machete and a canteen full of either rainwater or your own piss.

      If you live somewhere, you’re a part of the body that decides things like that. If you want public transit in your community, and you certainly should, take the steps to get the action started.

      Nobody is going to change the world on our behalf; it all falls on us.

        Whats one of the concrete steps? I don’t know where you lives but here it seems impossible to push for that.

          Starts by being an active member of the community. Attend counsel meetings, town hearings, etc. Bring up the topic at these, gauge the response. Talk to the people who seem enthusiastic in response. Work together and build a petition, then seek signatures first amongst the people who attend, then talk to your neighbors.

          I never said it was going to be easy, I only said nobody else is going to do it on your behalf.

      That’s why the post advocates for public transport. So that we can have better options.
