It's almost like we need to prioritize a better form of interconnected transportation that's more efficient at moving larger amounts of people with a small foot print.
To clarify, it does not have to be a bus, but it can be a tram, train, subway, elevated rail, cable car, bike, scooter.
It's almost like people don't enjoy sharing rides with crackheads that don't really reach their destination...
It's almost like a lack of investment and propoganda from car companies have convinced people public transportation can't be convenient, clean, and reliable.
As someone who rides public transportation every day that I'm not allowed to work from home, it's not convenient or clean and the only reliable thing about the MTA is that there will be "unavoidable delays"
