WASHINGTON—In a trend that is reducing the nation’s dependence on fossil fuels by curtailing the total number of cars on the road, a study released Thursday by the Transportation Department found that more Americans than ever are commuting to work splattered on the grill of a Ford F-150. “Increasingly, U.S.…
You have bikes and busses. Everyone does.
Of course the increase tax on carbon would directly fund giving poor people free bus tickets and bicycle maintenance
I live in rural Washington state. The nearest bus station from where I work is a two mile walk. The nearest bus station from where I live is a three mile walk. I live twenty miles from where I work. Biking and Bussing simply aren’t feasible.
I like bikes and busses. We don’t need bikes and busses to solve this problem, we need telecommuting and walkable communities.
I dont see how you can be so obtuse.
If gas was just $6/hr then there would be a ton of demand for busses. So the bus routes would expand to all the people in your area. And it would be easy to fund because the rich would be subsidizing it.
They’d rather just leave you to suffer in poverty paying $6/gal, neither telecommuting nor busses.
Market solutions don’t work. We need to do this by force.
You started this chain claiming an unreasonable $20 minimum.
Now you’re calling people obtuse? Lmao
Yeah we should definitely be at $20 by now. Carbon taxing should have started increasing in the 1980s
Bikes and buses are great if you go from one central location to another central location.
Do you know how long bus routes are in rural counties? Imagine the logistics of trying to collect all the adults that want to get to work.
we do pretty much this in my country
I would love to see this.
Im gonna say something completely resonable and yet sound like a crazy person cause u lot love cars so much.
TRAINS, u can make it like the ones in the rural areas of germany which works almost like a bus.
Shit, i live in a god damn 3rd world country and i can’t belive we have better public transport than u.
