Yeah, and that's why I prefer cycling or skateboarding wherever I need (depending on the distance). In Russia those MFs get pretty packed at times, sometimes to the point it gets hard to breath in there 😬

The bus has 33 people on it? Even buses in Korea don't get that packed in most places.

Sure, but I'm not going to get on any conveyance with a bunch of strangers if I can avoid it.
Well, I need to stop by fedex, go the the grocery store, and pick up dry cleaning all before I get home. Then I need to make dinner. So, if the bus takes 1.5 hours and driving takes 15 minutes… the car wins.
We should really say fuck urban sprawl. I’d love to walk to work 🤷
My city started a program using taxes to pay for half the bus fares of citizens
So I looked things up.
Going to the nearest grocery store:
35 minutes walk 15 minutes bike ride 6 minutes car trip 90 minutes bus ride somehow

ex Londoner here, I can plot that route in my head by walking around Clapham Common station where I used to live.

Well those things are like in the same mall where the parking absolutely sucks, so bus was way easier.
how is a grocery store in a mall?
That’s how it is in the Philippines.
Parking usually sucks, because it’s completely full.
I’ve even seen cars line up for a space to park at the mall.
The parking garages are usually big, but Manila is overcrowded by a significant amount.

For me it's an 11 minute drive, 16 minute bike ride, or 58 minutes walk according to Google. Not sure about the bus since it doesn't calculate time for multiple stops.

I wonder if they'll all end up in different places? 😉
Yeah, busses only pick people up at stops; they're not allowed to get off until the end of the route...
But how else will the oil companies increase profits for their shareholders?
by increasing prices while suppressing wages like everyone else?
