Toronto traffic is some of the worst in the world. And instead of focusing on getting people to use their cars less by investing in transit, bike lanes and pedestrianization, we need solutions that allow our behaviour to carry on exactly as before, but without any of the problems intrinsic to that b...
Here are 5 other steps we can take to ensure our morning commutes are an absolute breeze, and we don’t need to (swallows vomit) take transit or (dry heaves) ride a bike.
The one and only cure for traffic is mass transit. If ford is talking about anything else it is because his rich friends can make money from it. Tell him to get rich friends who build busses and trains... #dugfordisaclown
Making return-to-office mandates illegal would take a bite out of traffic congestion without putting people out of work or requiring any kind of monetary investment. Ford would never do that, however. I expect his friend-circle includes people who own office buildings in Toronto.
Right but you keep bringing up a problem I find with the anti car crowd, they don't consider poor or working class people. Work from home, office mandates? That's upper middle class shit. What do you suggest for a person who works labor. Construction. Different sites every week?
Most anti car people are upper middle class or wealthy kids, raised in cities and have no regard or idea how poor or working class people live, and think we're all in the same situation as a childless, single young person who lives downtown.
I personally cannot strap my kids to my back. Get on a bike, ride them to school and daycare, then travel another 50km in winter on a fucking bicycle. And transit in my city is beyond pathetic, so less cars would first mean expending the transit system and budget and, that'll be when pigs fly unfortunately
