[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most Americans live in cities so that 28 minute commute is a dream for most. [/quote]

A commute is easier however when you aren’t the one driving (you’re sitting on a bus or a subway), no?[/quote]

Or riding a bike! Bicycle commuters are the most satisfied with their commute.[/quote]
Bike commuting in the US lasts until either biker has an accident or they age out. [/quote]

How is that different for car commuters?[/quote]
When a car commuter has an accident it’s called a fender bender. When the same happens to a biker it’s a trip to the ER. [/quote]

About 23,400 motor vehicle occupants died on the roads in the US in 2020. Also, about 6,200 pedestrians, 5,000 motorcyclists, and 850 bicyclists.

Now, if you're making the point that cars are dangerous, then yes, I'll agree. Cars (or, more accurately, car drivers) is what killed those pedestrians and bicyclists. We need streets that are safer for people who aren't in cars. It's one of the things the Urbanist Cult TM advocates for.[/quote]
