Jim | Entwining<p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PublicTransportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransportation</span></a> use has been shaped by corporate influence more than personal choice. As a nation, we in the US poured money into automobile infrastructure and suburban tract housing and now act like it's inevitable and natural for people to spend their lives driving.</p>

The_Caretaker<p>Car Brain makes public transportation suck. Two train stations, one in Japan and one in America. In Japan, pedestrians and cyclists can easily access the station and there are groceries, convenience stores, and restaurants and tons of bicycle parking by the station. In America there is a freeway interchange to a 4-lane divided highway surrounding the station. Who is going to commute by train there? <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CarBrain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarBrain</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/PublicTransportation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicTransportation</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Urbanism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Urbanism</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FuckCars</span></a></p>
