Meanwhile Doug Ford and Ken Sim killing bike lanes to shave 30 seconds off theor personal commutes.
More like add 2 minutes due to increased congestion and lack of alternatives. All the studies done showed that the bike lanes actually improved travel times in most cases.
Yeah, true. Turns out that bike lanes can move more people in urban environments, and forcing bikes into car lanes will slow everyone down. WHO WOULDA THUNK
Maybe some. But also many former bikes become cars, which is what really adds to congestion.
AS NJB put it, bike lanes are car infrastructure. People like Doug Ford is just maximising suffering, considering how many of his policies is just to make Toronto worse, it could actually be the real goal.
But that would require thinking a little more than only about themselves. They are never part of the traffic, they're special, everyone else are getting in their way.
‘Everyone else are’ seems to be correct as it’s a plural, but ‘everyone else is’ sounds better.
Any English teachers around to ask which is correct? The older I get, the less I seem to understand my own language.
In the UK you would use "are", in the US you'd use "is".
"is" does sound better, but English isn't my native language, so i cant really comment which is actually grammatically correct.
Your English is exceptional if it’s your second language.
Thank you.
