    Gods, this is how I sell public transit to pro car people.

    I am traffic. I want to be off the road and in a bus.

    I just don’t want my bus ride to be over an hour and a half long when the car ride is 10 minutes.

    I’ll settle for a bike commute because that’s 30 minutes but it would require riding down a major road where the only thing protecting me from a car going 60 MPH is a painted white line and trust.

      Yep, all we want are more options other than driving. A good cycling and pedestrian infrastructure even helps in making sure they’re out of the road and not in the way of cars, something I’m sure a lot of car-centric people would actually be happy about. It’s a net positive for everyone.
