  • That is a bit rich from someone who did not start the comment by saying, “I find public transport awful” but as a general truth “Its awful to go on public transport.”

    Same goes for your line about how people spend a fortune, just to avoid PT, when in fact, many don’t spend a fortune on cars when they happen to live in places where PT is decent and useful. Almost as if not so much the inherent general awfulness of PT makes people choose going by car but when PT is in that specific place just not good, people do so.



  • I guess that must be why living in Vienna gives you such a terribly low quality of life, as more trips are done by PT than by car and around half the households don’t even own a car (most of them could easily afford one), compared to for example Fake London in Canada.

    Travelling in a city designed for PT doesn’t take any longer than travelling by car in a city designed for cars. How? Because what cars are faster, they need more space, increasing necessary distances, and at the end leading to no improvement in travel times.

    Everyone works in different ways. You may not believe it, because it is not your thing but some really want to separate their work location from their free time location and there are also good reasons for doing so. I am not saying everyone has to want that but many do and there is nothing wrong with that. The other thing is that real, face to face communication is simply not the same as an online call, especially low key interactions during lunch or coffee break. Depends on your job of course and they way of working but there is value in it.

    If someone can combine the commute with work out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Why impose your preferences on that other person?
