    Dutchman here. Our government has been systematically gutting funding for public transport. I have to extend my commute from 40 minutes to 2 hours if I want to take public transport. It’s also unreliable and outrageously expensive since they run it through the “free market”.

    Fuck cars but there’s also no way in hell I will sell my car before they introduce some massive changes to our public transport.
