>>1967636>which simply isn't the case for the majority of the planet.Why should the US give a shit what traffic is like on the rest of the planet?
>you seem to think you can just entirely ignore that people live in citiesI lived in Boston for years and he's right. Driving is almost always the best way to get around unless you're right smack in the main city neighborhoods (North End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, etc). If you're going from Allston to Somerville or from Longwood to Harvard Square, driving is always going to be faster except during most congested rush hour conditions (which is when the T will be sardine city-- bicycle is the superior choice then).
>>1967634>again this just isn't trueHe's right, it is true, but you have to observe that he's specifically talking about transit speed and convenience. He's not talking about other subjective qualities (I answered that for walking, specifically, way up here:
>>1967412). But of course that applies to other forms of transit, especially expensive kind where you have your own seat and access to wifi.
