    Driving is worse.

    If you commute by train or bus you can at least get a streak in candy crush, read a book or stare at people while deliberately eating too slowly.

    Let me be clear: I hate commuting by car. Trains, bikes, whatever else is fine. I cannot stand being stuck in traffic with everyone else that seem to have no patience and no presence of mind to leave a bit earlier so they have the time to sit in traffic.

    Driving is fine. A nice long drive can be amazing.

    don't get me wrong I hate cars with a passion but as a frequent transit user (ab Canada), transit is still quite a beast

    I've witnessed beatings, aggressive and unstable people making a ruckus ornsxene or getting on the offensive to other passengers. I don't pull out my phone on the bus in certain areas.

    This isn't a problem with transit though. This is like saying the problem with shoplifting is having shops.

    Violence in society is not solved by puting everyone within there own metal box. This just gives protection to all of those that can afford the metal box and makes the issue of violence worse as only the less privileged are exposed to the violence.

    Also, you normalize the deaths caused by car accidents in your area. Which I can guarantee are significantly higher than anyone being randomly killed on public transit.

    Specifically Dallas while building a whole new I-635 section that runs between and under the original lanes.

    Dallas: suffers from terrible heat.

    Dallas Politicians apparently: What we need is vast swaths of conrete nothingness. To really max out the temperature. I won’t be satisfied till being outside literally leads you to melt.

    Well.. not for this. We did take a lot more land than what we use for highways. 😅

    I mean, show me any picture of this many humans packed together and I'll run screaming. Doesn't matter if its a train or a bus or walking...ick. Not for me.

    I think a lot of americans are the same really. We dont want to be around anyone who isnt our family or friends.

    However this photo could be replaced by like 1 train or 10 buses. So yeah.

    Because they're building a train in the middle, right?

    Right?!?

    That's the thing. It could be ANY city in the US. Car-dependent infrastructure kills local culture. It makes everywhere look like the same, ugly concrete jungle.

    I agree that’s the point, but here are the Texas things I see:

    • Valero
    • super tall lighting
    • feeder roads
    • top of censored plate looks like it could be five letters
    • the concrete barrier and weird empty space next to it in the bottom left
    • widening the freeway by adding lanes in the middle of it

    edit: Turns out I was right. That’s a Texas plate. Gives me Austin vibes.

    Kinda fitting since Texas has become the epitome of the US.

    Hmmmmmm, well.......42 years ago your mommy and your daddy decided it would be fun to have some sex. Yes. That's real. That happened.

    Yadda yadda yadda, and now in the modern day, you have a dead end job, a family that hates you, and gas prices that never stop going up because a pedophile is president.

    But enough about that. You're already 15 minutes late because of this traffic jam.

    Back to work, dickhead!

    “I know how to fix this: another 116 lanes.. that way everyone 200 cars in that particular direction has their dedicated path.” - sarcastically

    I agree with the premise of this post, that car infrastructure is generally ugly and unpleasant, but I have to point out that this is doing the same thing that people do with every picture of an urban area that they want the viewer to dislike, which is make sure its taken on the most humid overcast day possible. To its credit though this isn't during the fall, so at least there's leaves on the trees.

    Keep voting against "immigrants". I'm sure it'll solve this issue.
