Yeah, public transpiration would be great if my fellow Americans weren't such filthy, disgusting trash. I am not sitting on the seat that smells like ass cheese because the guy that was sitting on it 5 stops ago is a nasty fat fuck. Not like the bus company ever hoses them down but once a month, either.
Japanese public transportation is immaculate and the number of people that use it is mind-blowing. There is no excuse. America, you're fucking disgusting, lazy trash.
Eh, it depends. Lots of vomit later at night. Also people taking their masks OFF to sneeze and cough without covering their mouths on the trains during corona was fun. But, most of the time, I would agree
That is your city maybe but all the transit I've used was nice other than the terrible service speed and frequency.
Gotta love the bare aluminium seats. The heat conductivity also makes sure to get rid of the lingering heat that makes you feel like someone was there a few minutes ago.
But the coughers and tobacco stinkers. Nothing we can do about it. Using the Metro on the wrong time, for me, means catching a cold. Maybe the latest strand of flu, even. Even though they have a pretty good HVAC
The big irony is that Japan's systems are so smooth because they don't organise themselves democratically. The west literally can't replicate it because they have no experience implementing a functional compromise. Majority rule means you stop looking for solutions once 51% of people are convinced it's a good idea.
What do you mean? Do you have examples?
very broadly they will try to find a solution that works for everyone. it's why you don't really see large groups, if 1 person doesn't want to get pizza then the group isn't getting pizza. in the west that 1 person is getting a shitty pizza shop salad because they've been out voted.
