I follow a YouTuber that covers everytime they find someone reinventing something. In no particular order:

I kind of lost faith in Adam Something after he advocated for requiring everyone to use their real name online to "expose them to consequences for what they say" (and then did an ad read for DeleteMe in the same video)
dang that's sad to see :/, also pretty funny that that's coming from someone who goes by the name "adam something"
Without even clicking I knew this was gonna be the solar fricking roadways guy.
Edit: oh wait, no, I actually thought 2 different guys were the same. I meant this guy: https://youtu.be/H901KdXgHs4?feature=shared
And of course he also has his take of the cyber bus: https://youtu.be/8x4pMfBSU_U?feature=shared
It wasn't an accident though? It's a large transit van that doesn't have a driver
i know he acts like that, but he's actually 53.
edit: oh, by "joke" you mean the tweet. never mind.
This is btw also what Apple tried to build. That's why their car project failed.
City busses are good too
Are a good idea, yes.
Many places intentionally hamper them to make them useless to perpetuate the idea of government incompetence and to deny the peasantry easy of access and transport, though.
Especially when they are slower than just straight up walking.
That sounds rather conspiratorial.
I'm sure car manufacturers are lobbying for less busses, and a lot of it has to do now with government officials being so used to cars they don't know better. I doubt it has anything to do with governments wanting to restrict it's citizens
To be fair, a cab is not a bus, but still an essential part of transit. They are usually far too expensive to be considered an option(for me, a European city dweller) so anything that makes them more accessible is good.
I ain't paying 10 bucks to go 5 miles.
Are cabs so essential that they get to share the bus lane?
Of course not. Why would you think that?
In many cities it is existing custom for cabs to use bus lanes.
Ok, but how did I allude to that.
You didn't. I was just interested in how essential you think cabs are. We agree that they should have no special privileges above a normal private car.
