Why I Quit Driving and Started Taking the Bus (Standup)
Let me guess. Cause he lives where busses actually run. Shocked pikachu.
Urban density leads to public transit, pass it on
Purple monkey dishwasher.
Was waiting for him to talk about how insane gasoline is. Highly explosive, comes out of a hose, no special training required to dispense it. No oversight.
I mean it isn't like you see many Zoolander incidents going on.
Yeah, but given the number of morons pumping gas into Home Depot buckets, etc, it’s amazing more folks don’t die.
I sometimes think about the alternate universe where battery electric cars became dominant instead of the internal combustion engine....

Didn't watch the video, but the transit system forced my hand to buy a car. I resisted until I was left stranded multiple times in sub freezing temps watching my half full bus ignore the stop I was at.
Vowed never again. It's been almost a decade now and no plans to ever take public transit again.
Generally when public transit is bad, it's bad on purpose.
There's an insane amount of money flowing to keep people from ditching their cars, and actively rat-ficking any meaningful step that could be taken to fix public transit.
I feel like a conspiracy nutjob, but I can't see another reason for it sometimes.
The last bus in my city is about 10-20 minutes before most theater shows end in our downtown. So I can take the bus to go see a show, but I can't take one back unless I rudely leave during the final scene. Same deal for things like bar trivia. It's like they want people to drive drunk.
And I can't feasibly walk home because there's two goddamn highways bisecting the city that make getting from downtown to my neighborhood take five times as long to walk as it should.
