Generation Y/Millenials don’t want cars, freedom to avoid buying health insurance, or 40 hour work weeks.
Or so I’ve been told.
I guess they’ll just have to outlaw personal cars.
Except for government workers of course.
Another leftist prediction gone bad.
What’s their batting average so far?
.000?
And it is no surprise that folk don’t want mass transit in today’s secular and anti-Christian world. the secularists and atheists are afraid that using mass transit is just a way to get them to a church service.
Just think about all the money poured down the drain in the form of bike lanes, etc...to ‘nudge’ the sheeple to not drive their cars. Not only is it immoral...turns out the money was completely wasted anyway.
Which is why we need to Mandate that ALL Public Employees use Public Transportation to and from their respective work places.
Well riding a bike to work would be nice, but I haven’t seen bare pavement since November, as it’s been covered in snow and ice.
Ughhhh. Walking and biking will not be increased unless density is drastically increased, and I do not see how that can be done in a non-coercive manner. Walking will get you 3-5 miles in an hour, biking probably 10 to 20 miles, and outside of major cities very few people have commutes much over half an hour.
Use of trains is limited by use of them being cheaper than downtown parking, and going from where people are to where they want to go.
I’m guessing that jobs are disappearing so fewer people need to commute to a job (they don’t have one) at the same time people who own cars are having a harder and harder time paying to drive to work (salary cuts, part time jobs, outsourcing etc.) Therefore, as laid off workers stop commuting to work, hardship workers fill their spaces on commuter trains and so the numbers look “flat.”
The first comment in the article matches a survey I heard about in Los Angeles.
They asked drivers were stuck in traffic if they supported increased public transportation - the overwhelming answer was YES!. Then they went a step further and asked why - the largest response was “to get people off the road”.
You can take it from there.
