Once again for the people at the back. The purpose of public transport is to transport the public. Making money from doing so is a secondary purpose at best.
Noone talks about the profitability of the motorway network. So why do we do the same for public transport?
@quixoticgeek it’s because public transport is considered to be for the poor, so it’s useless and expendable to the rich
@scavello "equality is not when everyone has a car, but when the rich take public transport"
@quixoticgeek I live a small-medium size spread out city, so public transport is inefficient because it relies on profitability, so it actually takes the same amount of time to take a bus as it does to walk to your destination. It’s really sad
@scavello maple sauce city it is then. Sprawl and suburbia are the enemy of livable.
Is maple leaf city full of stroads ?
@quixoticgeek lol yea, but the city council has been installing a lot of bikes lanes which is an improvement for non car accessibility.
Full transparency though, I do drive (an EV) as it’s required for my work.
@quixoticgeek I’d rather not say due to privacy reasons. But I will say I’m in western canada
