All it took for me was a single drive home during Thanksgiving traffic; a trip that normally takes 10min took an hour, I swore off manual transmissions that day.

If only there would be viable alternatives for the mass transit of people. It would free up the road for those who like to or absolutely have to drive.

So often forgotten as an argument. Driving would be great if those who don't want to are not forced to.

When you’re working construction, jumping site to site and at random hours of the day each day, mass transit flys out the window.

And that is before taking into consideration the unique tools you carry with you.

When people talk about mass transit they never have your scenario in mind. It's a bullshit argument against doing anything.

You think construction companies enjoy having their men and tools stuck in traffic surrounded by about 50% of cars that shouldn't and wouldn't be there if people had valid choices?

It's an and-and story. No-one in their right mind, except for rabid edgy internet communists wants to ban cars altogether.
