They get unnecessarily VIOLENTLY angry if you address how other political issues are also important.

They are rabid, and do not have ‘chill’ mode. It’s impossible talking to them at all. They also force their beliefs about using public transportation on everyone when they don’t take into account that not everyone lives in a city.

Also, they fail to acknowledge that public transportation is not safe.

Listen, I get that climate change is a thing. But it’s not THEE ultimate and almighty issue.

    Folks that live in rural areas simply can’t use public transport because it doesn’t exist. It doesn’t exist because there’s got enough tax base to support it. And there’s not enough population to use it even if it was economically feasible

    There was a recent thread around here somewhere about a small town that replaced its bus service with a public on call van service. They compared themselves to a public version of Iber but with fares like a bus service.

    Yes you can have transit anywhere: it just may have different forms
