i'm guessing you personally prefer and are capable of taking your car everywhere, but what about the elderly, the blind, the epileptic, and the many other groups of people who are unable to drive but need to get around? do they just not get to live in your town? (or if so, do they just have to be housebound or dependent on asking favors of people to get anywhere?) public transit gives people independence and access to their community, there should be much more of it everywhere.

also like, how is having to see a bus different than having to see constant car traffic, cmon

I am 1000% certain George Carlin would have punched you in the mouth if he had the opportunity. You are exactly the kind of person he detested to the core of his being.

Nah, I'm just going to laugh at you. It's easy. Your comment history is basically a "I have a tiny penis" tell-all.

So you support making public transportation policy based on a comedian's jokes?

Never heard that one. I thought George Carlin said his favorite accident was two buses and a chicken truck.

He also said not to stop after a car accident, so maybe we can set aside his opinion on this topic.

What situation have you been in in which that advice was helpful to you, much less qualify as among the best advice you’ve ever received?

Since you said you previously have learned about systemic racism you should also look into how suburbs were created, why people fled the city in the past, and why people go against public transportation. I'll give you a hint: it's also racism. Hope you can also educate yourself with that as well, my dude
