Because they're scared of anything that isn't white and middle class.

there's plenty of gentrifying downtown areas that will give them that same feeling, unless they are scared by the fact the poor neighborhoods would still be in biking distance

Im not sure what they can do, they tried putting a/c on the new victoria stock but it doesnt really work. Im interested in seeing how airflow on crossrail will work - surely with it being totally brand new they can do something with the tunnels to help?

they should stop cunts standing directly in front of the train window at least

self-driving cars would make commutes infinitely easier since your car would just talk to other cars and not cause dumb jams because people do stupid poo poo like tailgate and go at variable speeds and pass in the wrong lane or cut over too many lanes

so many traffic jams are caused by some retard tailgating its disgusting

orrr we just make trains go everywhere

but when helicoptercar technology becomes affordable every motherfucker will have one and the skies will be really crowded meaning fatal crashes all the time and people will long for the days of just driving a car on a road that is probably now not maintained at all since everybody has a helicoptercar now.

why do people crowd the doors before people have gotten off the train? EVERYTIME they do it and everytime they gotta move out of the way.. and the train isn't even busy enough for all the seats to be used.

i got a bike too so i gotta push people out of the way with the bike or they don't move. it's weird as hell.

Suburbs are loving dumb and I will always opt to live near my work whenever I can

why do people even like suburbs there's nothing close to you

because you get paid a whole bunch to work in the city, and then save a ton of money not paying to live in the city

I live in and work in a suburb, but I am 10 or so miles from Boston, so its not like I am literally in the sticks like someone would be if they were like in a suburb of Columbus Ohio or Des Moines Iowa or something
