Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse::px-captcha

Agree. I literally have to drive to work. There’s a public transit stop right by my house but then I’d have to take 1 more train, and 2 busses to get within 10 ish blocks of my office. No thanks. Especially in the winter when the homeless chill in the trains and busses taking rips off their crack pipes thinking they’re being sneaky. It smells like burnt plastic. I know what you’re doing. I’m not going to put myself around that.

No idea why you're getting down voted. Ignoring issues with public transportation is only going to repel people who could otherwise be convinced it's viable and also more likely that those issues are never addressed in the first place.
