This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:

- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

The first will make all bikers really happy. I've had the "pleasure" to ride my bike in a road with way to many tram rails on my way, and had to turn left at one point. That is definitely not fun.
And delivering outside busy hors means both the driver and the people in the shop have to work at insane hours. Will they be properly compensated for it?
Tell me you have never worked a single day in a supermarket before. Do you know when they are being stocked? When nincompoops like your are sleeping.
Here's a video that explains this in great detail for you: https://youtube.com/watch?v=9qc6n46jZZs
Maybe in Exploitamerica. Here workers have rights, and putting someone on a graveyard shift just to restock is too expensive for the stores.
Rails are easy to deal with if your road is designed reasonably well for cyclists.
Most roads in the cities here are not even much use for cars alone...
