Oh look, another reason not to buy ~~BMW~~ a CAR

While this is completely true, it's a bit tone-deaf. Fuck cars, but many people barely have a choice because their public transport consists of a handful of busses that come once an hour and nothing is close by.

As an aside, I spend a whopping total of about $1/day (edit Australian $, so less USD) on maintenance and electricity for my electric cargo bike. I go about 17 km each way to work and the funny thing is it's only about 10 mins longer than driving, lol

Imagine a bus coming once an hour... try only twice a day for the entire county... early morning and late night.

💀 where is this?

.... Re-read before I sent. I thought this said country, lol.

Yikes, why even have a bus at that point?
