yes buses take up less space while driving and don't need to be parked outside of every destination, and in fact they can just keep going and taking more people more places while the first schmucks are still sitting in the library or at work or getting ice cream
... but have you considered that rain and pain?
But have you considered Pain and Gain, the 2013 action comedy film starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson directed by working class hero Michael Bay?
You need to watch more movies. It isn't even Michael Bay's worst project.
Nah you just gotta find the right slop for you. What movies do you like to reccomend to people?
Oh I meant that in I may watch too many movies. I'm pretty bad with suggestions unless I know what someone likes and has seen before.
oh dear me, I wouldn't want any such low class movies taking a bus through MY suburb mr musk
Classic NMBIMBY (no Michael Bay in my back yard) talking point. We need legislation to change the blockbuster zoning laws so you hoity toity single family friendly film dwellings aren't controlling the movie landscape.
i'm sorry i just can't wrap my mind about this. there's just no concievable way with our current tech
what if instead of buses communicating with each other to maximize efficiency in the huge existing transportation infrastructure we already built over decades
we built a huge new network of honeycombed underground tunnels for teslas to travel at high speed
without much riskunderground rocket ships but they have little wheels that brace against the tunnel walls so they're safe
I've tried to google it but I cant find out what rain & pain is supposed to mean
don’t need to be parked outside of every destination, and in fact they can just keep going
Wow sounds like a chauffeur service, that's too rich for my blood.
"But the bus won't drive me exactly where I want to go!"
In a good transportation system with no traffic and more bus routes, it would.
Actually, it won't and that's cool and good because it doesn't have to drive you EXACTLY where you need to go no matter how weird the place, because that's inefficient as fuck. 99/100 times someone can walk like 100-200 meters to go where they want to go. And either way in dense cities cars won't get you exactly where you want either because it is impossible to park close to where you want to go.
99/100 times someone can walk like 100-200 meters to go where they want to go.
Additionally, in any humane public transit system, there will be dedicated door-to-door bus services for people with specialized physical or cognitive needs.
There's no reason to make that buses, buses aren't better just because they are buses, they are because they carry lots of people. If you want to make a door to door system, it's not efficient to have a bus with 1 person inside, better just make it a car.
In the past we used drugs to drop out and have revolutionary thoughts, nowadays we take drugs to be more productive for our employer.
or the emissions or the fact that reliance on cars traps poor and working class folks even harder into poverty, or that roads SUCK
That car he launched in to space? There was a hooker in the trunk. At least that's what people are saying.
there was someone in a spacesuit (clearly killed) sitting in plain view in the driver's seat
how the hell he got away with that I'll never fully process
Uhh can't the USA afford bus stops, with roofs? And yeah walking in the rain is shitty but so is being stuck in a traffic jam doing fuck all for an hour.
Yeah well wait until the next Tesla model which has no roof but it's alright because you can purchase a Tesla umbrella drone to hover over your car in case it starts raining.
make sure you buy your Tesla Model ACAB (remember, cuz Elon's an anarcho syndicalist and this convertible has to appeal to the edgy youth) directly from Tesla, because if you buy third party and Tesla finds out you didn't pay separately for the drone upgrade it might just fly back to the dealership while you're stuck in a hyperloop traffic jam
while you’re stuck in a hyperloop traffic jam
That's a funny way to write "deadly chemical fire".
Roofs? In public? We don't even allow benches cause heaven forbid a homeless person not lay in the mud and piss.
Yeah about that time cost, the only reason PT is "slow" (buses in particular, subways are like much faster than cars for most places if the grid is dense enough, even if you need to walk a bit) is because your dumb cars are making it slow by clogging up the streets, Elon.
Transit and walk-ability go hand in hand. When the infrastructure is designed for cars before anything else, it makes it inconvenient and time consuming to walk to a bus stop so people who have cars don't bother.
I don't know why this is but if I see someone with an umbrella, I assume they're a recent transplant.
Buses and trains are only more inconvenient because they've done everything they can to make cars the default
Fuck you Elon
"Ah, but have you considered that most public transportation systems in the US are under-funded and designed around an infrastructure that heavily favors car traffic? That's why cars are better. Please buy more TSLA."
Why do these freaks hate buses and trains so much? I would take a bus to school and like read shit.
The class system requires people to be isolated. You don't have to think too hard about how your position is maintained if you rarely if ever actually see the under classes. This is internalized to the point that they are disgusted by the idea of being in a bus with a poor person.
Same! It was a relatively relaxing part of my day. Sure, sometimes some weird shit would happen, but 19/20 I'd just ride and listen to music or read or journal. It was so much better than driving ever was! When I switched to bike commuting I actually kind of missed it.
Marx failed to consider rain and pain.
And aren't you allegedly trying to make public transit Elon? Is there no rain nor pain if you're in a tiny shuttle?
