      But even if it did, your car will never have an identical twin show up 10 minutes after, going the same way

        Ten minutes?! Ha!

        Where I live it’s every half hour, tops, and it takes ten times as long as driving and I have to walk next to a stroad the whole way.

        But the real reason this was my first thought is I was run over by a school bus I was running to catch in kindergarten and now any form of scheduled transportation fills me with anxiety.

            Living in a place dense enough for better public transit would kill me.

            The suburbs are bad enough.

            Don’t worry, I don’t want to come to your cities.

              I live in a very small town, all 2/3 storey buildings and fields everywhere

              Still got buses that run every 10 minutes

          So you have a deeply specific personal issue that you’re desperate to make everyone else’s problem? Also buddy you don’t want to look up car death and injury statistics is safety is your concern.

            I’m not making you not take public transit. I’m just going to be panicked the whole time.

            I’d honestly rather walk 20 miles than take a bus, or drive a thousand miles than take a plane.

          Then it should be every ten minutes instead of half hour…

          Idk what to tell you, man, but “my local public transport isn’t effective” is an argument against ineffective public transport, not an argument against the general concept

            Right but even if it was effective I won’t like it. Because I’d be ten minutes late everywhere from missing my train or an hour early because I didn’t want to miss my train and avoid delays and cancellations.
