literally just saw a post complaining about the state of public transit but like. full of people saying they couldn't transport 4x8 sheets of plywood on it solo. complaining about transit taking them 45 min to commute vs a 15 min car ride. upset that if they worked in the suburbs and lived in the city they had to drive to work to avoid a lengthy train commute. mad that it smelled like piss and was crowded. enraged they had a 10 minute walk from their train stop to work (walk that was seemingly acceptably safe but apparently the CLOSER stop was 'dangerous.' i assume bc someone sleeps on a bench there) sorry the entire world doesn't have the population density of fucking tokyo but grow up????

#i too wish we could just teleport everywhere and it didn't smell like piss but ????#real conversations to be had about disability access esp when it comes to walking to stops and how none of the fucking elevators/ramps work #and DEFINITELY when it comes to which areas are more or less served by reliable transit #but these people weren't having any of those discussions #they were just mad about having to deal with the public on public transit #there was was one single guy making valid notes about how a 10 min walk was made inaccessible by poor/lack of sidewalks etc #and everyone else was seemingly upset about the unavoidable realities of even very good mass transit #there was also a spicy little bit of like 'transit was angelic in tokyo and seoul' like......well thats kinda awkard then #this just says you've been on a 2 wk vacation and never talked to anyone who had to live in a cheaper area and take a 2 hr transit commute
