walking around without shoes on in a Five Guys that’s a 🚩

A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transportation.

I think it highlights the money-grubbing absurdity of Formula 1 that Zandvoort is going to be allowed to drop off the calendar while Max is still racing.

Think about how much they must be charging tracks to host events for it not to be worth it to host a home race for a driver with one of the most rabid fanbases I’ve ever seen.

This is right next to Central Park. He could ride his bike (or his e-bike) through what is widely considered one of the most beautiful urban parks in the world without having to worry about cars or red lights.

The subway is also fine. It’s by no means a public toilet on rails. The platforms are a bit grungy, but inside the cars it’s comparable to London or Paris.

In addition to the subway, there are no less than 4 bus routes along Madison & 5th Avenues.

They’re just using French Revolutionary decimal time.

Local conservative afraid of everything, dumps his trauma onto kids. More at eleven.

Housing in Tokyo is known for being relatively affordable, actually.

What flag does he race under?

Alternatively, make a third meme about it on a niche Internet forum.

don’t forget you also have to beg the freight companies to let you run those trains

You can go to Lagos and ride it, if you want!

Both fascists.

I think battery buses require extra road maintenance because they’re so heavy. They’d be required to use truck routes or their roads would have to be updated to handle those weights.

Also EV charging infrastructure is not nothing.

In general, trolleybuses are probably the best electrification method, but people get mad about catenary.

Incel shit

It sounds like they’re praising it in Japan and saying “of course it could never work here, Americans are just genetically predisposed to cars”.

Which public transport? Tokyo Metro is publicly-owned. Some of the JR branches are still publicly-owned. JR was only privatized in the late 80s as an anti-labor move and to deflect from the unpopularity of closing unprofitable rural lines. But of course the government built most of the network, including the first shinkansen lines.

very funny to see this coming from Reason, a libertarian rag that hates public transit

Yeah, bud. That was my point.
