    Every European city I’ve been to has been a breeze to get around by public transit. Hell, the intercity trains blew my north american mind away. Even Montreal was quite good compared to what I’m used to.

      I live in montréal and my take is that it’s very nice and quite walkable, but the fact it’s the most walkable city in north america by a decent margin is kinda sad.

      I grew up in Moncton (picture your average american city) and that shit is so soul sucking.

        Crazy idea for car-less existence that even the most car-brained American would have trouble denying that multi-modal mass transit is preferable to car-centric existence: Disney World.

        Imagine if cities the size of Orlando had rapid transit busses, lightrail/monorail, ferries, and even etc (gondelas, moving walk ways, whatever). If the status quo wanted to they would be able to deliver, but they don’t want to so car-brained delude themselves they don’t want it
