Even people who are neither gay nor zoomers, in some cases.

I moved from the US to the Netherlands a couple years ago, and this is one of many reasons why I can't imagine myself wanting to ever return. Good public transport raises everybody's quality of life.

This is part of my I'm an insufferable snob about living in NYC. I just walk places. Sometimes take a bus or subway. Never think about it very hard. Never worry about traffic, parking, gas, insurance. Don't feel guilty about casually polluting (in this specific way). It's nice.

It's more the fault of the generation before the boomers that built the roads solely for cars. It was the guys who founded the major car companies' final act before they croaked.

Thinking of the trolley problem, but pulling the lever kills everyone necessary to make public transit a reality, and not pulling the lever blows up the train.

My city has good transit but I kinda feel like its the only one. Hated dc and I don't see much else that seems very good outside new york which seems hella expensive.

I'm a straight millennial and I would love to have public transit.

The el train in Chicago is almost perfect except for the crackheads

My town in the UK had an extensive tram/trolley system around the turn of the century, but it was a private enterprise and not very popular. The trams were extremely noisy, the overhead cables were sprawling, and the tracks invaded space that was previously safely available to pedestrians.

When buses became viable, it all got ripped out.

Narrator: "It's not."

Boomers in my city voted against taking a lane from a busy road and building a light rail line, and instead decided to spend 4+ years taking a lane from the same road to build an express bus lane. Which is better than nothing, I guess, except way less capacity than a couple train cars, and the original proposal was for a protected transit corridor so the light rail could just blast through. Estimates for the bus lane are like another 2 years for completion and it's already over budget. A bunch of businesses in the area closed down because work has taken so long.

My city went with a “dedicated rapid transit corridor” aka 1 or 2 new fast isolated (in places) bus lanes that only go to 2 or 3 specific places. Rather than LRT… 😬

Then I guess you need to start killing. Because that's what seems necessary.
