MODERATORS
Reading through these comments I'm realizing a lot of the people who are advocating for cars, because they offer greater flexibility and autonomy, aren't taking one critical thing into consideration: cars are useless without roads, and other necessary car infrastructure. You can't use a car to get from your home to your work without someone first paving a road between them. So, if we're going to have to build and maintain transportation infrastructure regardless, why not build infrastructure that will facilitate moving as many people from one place to another as efficiently as possible?
Bikes/buses use roads. won't get train station to your house.
yes, bikes use roads, but a bike doesn't need a 'bike stop' for you to be able to get off the bike.
