@penpencilbrush @deathkitten @arianvp It's the same thing with not having good bicycle infra. Sure, bikes can share the road with cars, but many people will not feel safe and will opt to take the car. But have protected bike paths, and all of a sudden more people will opt to leave the car home.
And we have similar patterns with public transit. If the transit goes irregularly, gets stuck in traffic, and has stops in places that are not practical or make people feel vulnerable, people will keep on using cars.

@ainmosni @deathkitten @arianvp It never occurred to me. All my corporate life, I put on sneakers or very comfortable shoes with my suit and walked, under bridges, on bridges, grass, dirt, sidewalk, whatever. I'm learning something every day. I love Mastodon. With you on the public transportation and bike lanes. Build them (frequent, efficient and safe) and they will come.
