Here are 5 other steps we can take to ensure our morning commutes are an absolute breeze, and we don’t need to (swallows vomit) take transit or (dry heaves) ride a bike.

    Right but you keep bringing up a problem I find with the anti car crowd, they don’t consider poor or working class people. Work from home, office mandates? That’s upper middle class shit. What do you suggest for a person who works labor. Construction. Different sites every week?

    Most anti car people are upper middle class or wealthy kids, raised in cities and have no regard or idea how poor or working class people live, and think we’re all in the same situation as a childless, single young person who lives downtown.

    I personally cannot strap my kids to my back. Get on a bike, ride them to school and daycare, then travel another 50km in winter on a fucking bicycle. And transit in my city is beyond pathetic, so less cars would first mean expending the transit system and budget and, that’ll be when pigs fly unfortunately

      Poor people can’t drive. You can’t drive on minimum wage. You can’t have a place to live and drive on less than 50k. Driving is a privilege that many of us just don’t have. You act like that’s not the case, like we all just fucking shrivel up and die the moment we lose our license. You adapt. Life goes on. It’s not the end of the fucking world. Pull your head out of your ass. You’re not afraid you can’t work, literally millions of people in this province find a way to keep working. you’re afraid of a loss to your quality of life. And you don’t give a shit that your quality of life comes at the loss of other people’s quality of life.
