Reply to comment by fasda in NJ Turnpike Authority Transforms a Useless $4.4B Project into a Useless $10.7B Project by jimmybot

I'm sorry but this is simply one of the most deranged things I've ever read. Nothing short of a nuclear war could ever facilitate the demolition of the NJ Turnpike. There's a lot of ways to reduce traffic on it sure but it's simply too vital of road for private use and commercial trucking. It serves literally hundreds of thousands of passengers and thousands of tons of freight per day. There is frankly no substituting all of that with bus and rail.

You have to remember that modern Reddit is almost entirely idealistic trend-chasing teenbrains. They're so detached from reality that they think the average person will suddenly want to take 4 times as long and 10 times the effort to get somewhere via bike/train...instead of just driving. They have the reasoning abilities of a sheltered teenager, and it doesn't help that in most subreddits they actually are that.
