      I live in a small town. The town has a couple vans that old people can call to be driven to the doctor. And like all government services and social safety nets, it’s gonna be gone by the time it’s my turn. If I’m going somewhere, it’s my car, my bike or my feet.

      That is true, which makes it so weird to get so much backlash from advocating for good transit in the first place.

      Also driving by bike is often times overlooked. In my home town of 10k the supermarket has a us sized parking lot and is located right in the center… Its cheaper for you and others, healthier for you, others and the earth and its safer for others.

        It’s not so much the advocating for good transit, it’s the using it as an attack on EVs. There’s no reason we can’t have both.
