Tbf, ive only been on the Chicago and Boston subways. They were pretty freaky at night. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 point 9 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works -1 points 9 months ago (1 child) You're right, but in a car youre isolated from that, see the difference ? A car driving through a crappy neighborhood os better than getting on a subway in a carappy neighborhood. Now, this isnt even a question of are cars good or bad but more of if the streets were cleaned up decently and we had well taken care of public transit. Inner city I agree cars are a nightmare. Sub 100k people towns and rural areas, they are necessary. They're also necessary if you haul a lot of stuff for work/hobbies, as I do. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 point 9 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 point 9 months ago Makes sense in cities, driving doesn't suck, is traffic that sucks.
