way above my paycheck, the paywall it is, the car also, but who cares... time to stop buying cars, and use the public transport and bikes... better for the environment anyway.
It is the right decision for some mass transportation, but you can't make cars obsolete with public transportation. Especially outside major cities.
Have people completely forgotten about the fucking plague we just had? I'll take my own box to drive around in, please.
Cycling, riding scooters, and walking outdoors are still fine, though. And requiring masks while riding transit was fairly effective. We need much stronger enforcement of masking and not riding with symptoms, though, in future pandemics.
Your personal multi-ton box degrades the environment, globally and on the streets it drives through, even if pollutes less by using electricity.
Too bad that Mercedes makes buses too
