We humans made a choice to use cars. That's because they were drastically more convenient. I don't want to use the railroad I'm sorry. I would rather have a car. I mean yes I want a flying car, I want an electric car - but its still need to be an individual means of transportation I don't need to share with anyone and with a cargo compartment. permalink fedilink source parent [+] sommerset@thelemmy.club -8 points 1 year ago (9 children) No we cannot.

I have. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] Jumi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago Because your cities are built around cars. permalink fedilink source parent [–] guynamedzero@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (6 children) Then make stores we can just walk to in like 10 minutes.

It’s pretty likely that you have a 30+ minute commute by car, trains/buses would help free up that time. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Texas_Hangover@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 year ago (3 children) I want to go shopping every day??
