stop driving

We should really be investing more in public transit, it's way better than electric cars and could be way more convenient if implemented properly

The problem is that citys are built around cars.

The first question is not how people can reach shops by foot, or with public transit. The first step is always to build streets to stuff and later figure out if you can might fit in a bus route, or maybe a cycling lane.

Sure, I'll just take the...

Oh wait, I'm in the US and they would have rather destroyed the planet than set up public transport

Oh wait again...

In case anyone wants to correct a corrupted sign that the department of transportation hasn't gotten around to: https://www.safetysign.us/my_weblog/2011/07/instructions-on-how-to-hack-electronic-road-signs.html

This is a hack of matrix boards like these that I can 100% get behind.

I don't know who did that but I like them

What purpose does this serve other than alienating the people you're trying to get on your side?

You have to have the alternatives in place before you can convince people to make a change.

Buses already take hours vs. minutes and any road construction that closes stops & routes down adds time and distance to an already long commute.

If you want people to choose your option, you have to make it an option worth choosing.

Cars raped my father!

The comments on this post are such a joke. The name of the community is literally 'fuck cars' and people are getting bent out of shape because we're posting about our dislike of cars.

I would if I could right now and I'm going to move next year to a place where I can sell my car and forget about it.

They're just trying to get to work, what is this attempting to accomplish

I can spend 17 minutes driving to work, or 1.5 hours catching buses. Easy choice for me.

Okay done. Now that I have eliminated this here my contribution to CO2 emissions, what do we do about the 100 companies that cause 70% of global CO2 emissions? Or is that no longer an issue once my car is taken out of circulation?

Who let the privileged rich people who can do whatever they want make a sign

"Cars kill kids"? Can you get more evil and propagandistic than that? What a dirty play on dumb people's emotions.

"BuT wHat aBoUt tHe cHiLdReN?" 😭

I live in Canada there is no other option

you can't stop driving when the city is trash and doesn't have pt, this is just thoughtless optimism that isn't helpful to anyone

cars are death machines

"studies show that cars save millions of lives annually"

Yeah this'll convince people! /s

I agree with all of these except the last one.

Cars don't ruin cities, the assholes that drive them do.

I live ~5 minutes from my work, but unless I want to walk/bike on the shoulder of a road where people are regularly going 60mph I have no option besides driving. And i live in a small town, must be even worse for medium/large sized cities

Ok well good luck riding your non motorized ambulance to the hospital then.
