>>1700865>Commuter train insolvencyBecause the government built the interstate system and provides funding for states to expand highways, essentially subsidizing highway travel since it gets paid for by federal money rather than states having to provide the construction and maintenance through taxes and don't get me started on all the spaghetti bowls they make in cities versus public transit.

>>1701103Practically nothing because I got the car for free and will probably keep it until it needs to be scraped and even if I always took the bus for this trip I'd still need a car because the public city bus system were I live is a total joke, literally anything that's more than walking distance will take a minimum of two hours, no exaggeration.
