Reply to comment by everything_is_bad in Study reveals that although private automobiles continue to be the dominant travel mode in American cities, the share of car trips has slightly and steadily decreased since its peak in 2001. In contrast, the share of transit, non-motorized, and taxicab trips has steadily increased by giuliomagnifico

What do you mean cars not being fun? Some of the best cars to drive ever exist now.

Also there are zero people who stopped driving due to “ blood on our hands”. How silly. There are literally people driving through war zones today to go to their jobs, come back to reality

Congestion makes driving not fun. If you want to have fun, take a car to a track, that's not what the public roads are for.

I think what they meant was that the roads are designed for everyone to get where they're going as safely as possible. They're not for "having fun", which usually translates into some selfish kid who watched too many F&F movies thinking their endorphin rush is more important than everyone else on the road.

You absolutely do not get to decide what public roads are for. You're also in a thread where it explicitly states LESS people are driving, so LESS congestion. And during the pandemic there was almost NO congestion in many areas. I have no idea what you're talking about. The whole US vs a handful of beltways.

You are wrong - I stopped driving because of the endless oil war in Iraq.
