    “I know how to fix this: another 116 lanes… that way everyone 200 cars in that particular direction has their dedicated path.” - sarcastically

    Now imagine a data center in the middle. My God… It’s just so beautiful I almost cried.

        Driving is worse.

        If you commute by train or bus you can at least get a streak in candy crush, read a book or stare at people while deliberately eating too slowly.

          Let me be clear: I hate commuting by car. Trains, bikes, whatever else is fine. I cannot stand being stuck in traffic with everyone else that seem to have no patience and no presence of mind to leave a bit earlier so they have the time to sit in traffic.

          Driving is fine. A nice long drive can be amazing.

          don’t get me wrong I hate cars with a passion but as a frequent transit user (ab Canada), transit is still quite a beast

          I’ve witnessed beatings, aggressive and unstable people making a ruckus ornsxene or getting on the offensive to other passengers. I don’t pull out my phone on the bus in certain areas.

            This isn’t a problem with transit though. This is like saying the problem with shoplifting is having shops.

            Violence in society is not solved by puting everyone within there own metal box. This just gives protection to all of those that can afford the metal box and makes the issue of violence worse as only the less privileged are exposed to the violence.

            Also, you normalize the deaths caused by car accidents in your area. Which I can guarantee are significantly higher than anyone being randomly killed on public transit.

      Specifically Dallas while building a whole new I-635 section that runs between and under the original lanes.

        Dallas: suffers from terrible heat.

        Dallas Politicians apparently: What we need is vast swaths of conrete nothingness. To really max out the temperature. I won’t be satisfied till being outside literally leads you to melt.

      Not quite where my mind was going, but definitely something along the line of “Fuck it”, leave the car right there and just ditch.
