    What are u people smoking, cars are awesome.

    NYC metro is bankrupt and unmaintained. They can’t even build a link to JFK.

      Driving is more fun when there are more viable alternatives. I don’t like driving, but it’s my only real choice where I live so I do it begrudgingly, and you have to share the road with me. Think of all the people who don’t want to drive (on account of it being dangerous, costly and/or mentally taxing) suddenly not being in cars, and how much traffic that would free up for you to zip around instead!

      Also, calling a public service “bankrupt” is really weird to me. How many tax dollars are we spending on public highways and freeways again? Do suburbs, which are designed to be car-dependent, provide a net gain or net cost in tax revenue to cities?

      The state should give the city the metro instead of raiding it to save ski resorts upstate.

      Also you should either block this community yourself or be banned for it. Fuck off car shill.

        I don’t see the rule that says I’m not allowed to disagree with this channel.
        In fact your rhetoric violates rule 1 and 3.
