i hate driving so fucking much
I hate commuting (edit: by car) so fucking much.
Driving is worse.
If you commute by train or bus you can at least get a streak in candy crush, read a book or stare at people while deliberately eating too slowly.
Let me be clear: I hate commuting by car. Trains, bikes, whatever else is fine. I cannot stand being stuck in traffic with everyone else that seem to have no patience and no presence of mind to leave a bit earlier so they have the time to sit in traffic.
Driving is fine. A nice long drive can be amazing.
don't get me wrong I hate cars with a passion but as a frequent transit user (ab Canada), transit is still quite a beast
I've witnessed beatings, aggressive and unstable people making a ruckus ornsxene or getting on the offensive to other passengers. I don't pull out my phone on the bus in certain areas.
This isn't a problem with transit though. This is like saying the problem with shoplifting is having shops.
Violence in society is not solved by puting everyone within there own metal box. This just gives protection to all of those that can afford the metal box and makes the issue of violence worse as only the less privileged are exposed to the violence.
Also, you normalize the deaths caused by car accidents in your area. Which I can guarantee are significantly higher than anyone being randomly killed on public transit.
All I'm hearing is that you got a free show!
As and Australian,.I am.with you, fuck driving, fuck cars, they ruin citiies.
