cute! I love informative comics like this.
people always jump to assuming creating an infrastructure that requires less reliance on cars means a flat out ban on cars when really we just desperately need more alternatives to being stuck on the car-only model. of course, rural areas and disabilities and such will mean that cars are sometimes necessary, but there's so much that a fully functional public transit system can do!!
@tasho @grue As soon as they leap to the assumption that improving public transit means banning cars I know they're arguing from bad faith. (Or they're stupid. Either way they're not worth talking with.)
exactly - I saw a couple of bad faiths in the comments and I just thought like "c'mon guys, be serious."
