Most of the people that drive feet-pushed motorized scooters are a danger, however, because of how conceited and selfish they are, as they are driving it ON THE WALKING PAVEMENT.
Yes, because it’s incredibly more dangerous for pedestrians to get hit by an E-Scooter than for an E-Scooter driver being hit by a car. /i
Nevertheless, of course no one should be an asshole in traffic, regardless of transportation mode.
Well in all fairness everyone can agree that the Pontiac Aztek was the worst looking car ever made.
The Italians be like “tienimi la birra:”
Honestly I have always kinda liked how the Multipla looked. Yeah it was funky but it meant to be funky hell it was displayed at MOMA.
The Aztec was trying way too hard it was trying to be cool and outdoors. But all it was was a shity Subaru.
Unpopular opinion: trains are not technically environmentally sustainable, but they are so much more efficient than cars & even buses that they might as well be.
Ground level train lines also segregate cities in the same way that ground level highways do.
Train lines are not as wide, dangerous, or consistently loud so I’d argue they are better than highways and less dividing so long as infrastructure is built and maintained to allow access to both sides at reasonable intervals.
How much does a train weigh per passenger?
Depends on the train obviously, but a lot less than cars at anywhere close to capacity. Why do you ask? Just look at the Wikipedia page for whichever rolling stock you were thinking of.
Seems like there is room for improvement, but it seems to be a scary subject here.
I’m just genuinely confused what your point is. The weight of a passenger train per passenger is meaningless. I was vaguely curious that my local EMUs are 200-600kg depending on which capacity figure you use, but that information is of no use to me.
How much emissions do cars cause per passenger and travelled distance?
Jesus.fucking christ! This has nothing to do with cars. I was asking about trains.
Flying fucking spaghetti monster! This is a post posted in the community “Fuck Cars” everything here has to do with cars! More specifically, this post criticises cars for their bad environmental impact, contrary to other modes of transportation illustrated in the post.
Why don’t you look it up yourself?
Those scooters aren’t sustainable. They’re generating a shit ton of litter and ewaste, in addition to needing charging constantly. And on a personal note, fuck all these idiots leaving them all over the fucking sidewalk.
The scooters are fine. It’s the rental business model that’s shitty.
And the idiots throwing them into the port’s water.
If they help to get people out of cars (including electric cars), I see them as a win. Orders of magnitude less impactful than cars.
I find bikes worst then cars, they make more noise in general as well
Is it the screaming when they get dragged under a hgv? It’s very annoying yes
Lol no way bicycles are worse than cars.
You must be referring to motorcycles? Because yes motorcycles are far more obnoxious
My bad ya I was talking about motorcycles
I see empty busses drive by my house every day and all the time, and wonder how sustainable it is.
Sure its great at peak hours and in big cytties but public transport is not the solution everywhere.
You’re probably at the edge of the bus line. There’s a usually very empty bus every 30 minutes just a block away from me. I took that bus a few times and realized that my neighborhood is the turn around for it. Most of the folk on it have gotten off by the time it loops through.
This situation of empty busses at houses makes sense too. Why would a bus be full at the edge of town? It needs passengers first and they won’t accumulate until the bus is near populated spots like downtown. And why would a city pay for empty busses when they could route them in better areas?
They dedicated a lane for busses recently in my city. It’s in the middle of the road with no stops in the middle. The stops are only on the outsides of the road. This has done nothing but compress traffic from 3 lanes down to 2 and extended the waits at all traffic lights since an entire lane is now dedicated to empty, out of service busses that gets used for maybe 3 hours throughout the entire day.
It’s amazing…
Huh, that’s funny. The other day I was on a bus in a bus lane that had 2 useless lanes of cars in between the bus and the bus stops. This has done nothing except get in the way of the buses since the capacity of car lanes is insignificantly small. I don’t know why they don’t just get rid of the car lanes and dedicate all 3 lanes for buses to run smoothly.
It’s amazing…
Ahh yes, the busses that I see have maybe 3 people on em cause they are either so late people walk or take a cab. Stop trying to be mighty, your cause is dumb
You’re the person that suggested removing a bus lane to “reduce traffic”. And now you’re suggesting that because the buses suck we should make the buses even worse. Something about that cause seems a little… dumb.
