>TFW your rural farming town of less than 2000 people had two street cars and multiple rail connections to other cities in 1910
>TFW your bedroom suburb of 25,000 people only has one bus stop that heads into the city in 2022

Why even live?

All over the US there are a lot of freight lines, and the area around Chicago is particularly dense.
But that map is commuter rail, "interurban" is the word if you want to look into it.

My city had mule pulled trolleys in 1890 that were later upgraded to electricity. Today, the city is mostly niggers who will rob you on the city bus for your iPhone 6 and drive around in stolen cars shooting each other with stolen guns

F

My village of two streets and 600 people even now used to have its own station. Now, to get a train, you need to drive to the nearest station; there isn't even a bus.

it really didn't. or, at least, when you're given a consulting job as a yes-man for a Tory transport minister who also happened to be MD of a road building firm, you're going to play the music that he asks for. at least until he (checks wikipedia) literally flees the country to avoid a HMRC bill after his offshore tax avoidance scheme collapses, jesus christ what a piece of shit. i'm going to find ernest maples' grave and spit on it
