    @ChicoSuave @HiddenLayer5 you’ve got it the wrong way around. The anti-car/pro public transport/urbanism movement always has the goal of reducing the cost of transport and the cost of housing to make places that are livable for people on lower incomes.

    Cars in rural areas aren’t a concern because they’re places where population density is so low that cars have fewer negative effects.

    But rural public transport between townships and major cities can also make getting places quicker, easier and safer.

    Building public transport in and to higher density areas doesn’t stop you from driving your car in a rural area.
