    Such a nightmare, my wife is taking our kids to a concert at the zoo today. So horrible! They will be taking a bus (pUbLiC tRaNsPoRtAtIoN), horrifying!

          Interestingly, my old hometown of about 20,000 people just added frequent bus service. They have all day buses to drive from one end of the town to the other, every 10 minutes. It’s pretty amazing. And people are actually riding it!

          Nonexistent, but its easy to drive here even with everyone on the roads, the same doesn’t apply to a city. I definitely could have made my point more clear, so that’s my bad.

              You should be scared of traffic btw. It’s made of barely conscious people driving heavy machinery that only works because… Well, it turns out consciousness isn’t actually that important.

              Regardless, car accidents are by far the leading cause of early death and permanent injury.

              Fun Fact: if you were to drive a mile to a convenience store to buy a lottery ticket, you would be more likely to die on the way than to win the jackpot.
