If only we had invented and built some sort of alternative mode of collective transportation. Maybe it could be in tunnels and ride on metallic rails. It would serve many people and make periodic stops to the same locations instead of the highway clusterf- we have today. Sad that we don't, but a man can dream though. A man can dream though.

maybe americans shouldn't build their homes 7km away from the nearest grocery store lol. jokes aside revamping us infrastructure would cost too much.

how does this community look at "the line" being build in Dubai. u can have all kind of opinions about dubai, but the line seems like the easiest solution for public transport. one train/bus/metro line goes up, the other down lol.

Easy enough to look at it and go "that's a horrible idea, and the amount of slave labor and deaths that are currently happening is unacceptable."
