public transport enjoyers cope about being seen as poor :!marseypoor:

It often is in North America. The fact is public transport is often terrible, so people don’t use it if they don’t have.

Now that should be a sign towards “hey, let’s improve transit”, not “let’s never consider transit”

Even progressive liberals still view transit as a last-resort public service that only the poor and desperate use.

that’s cause it is

Every American movie out there shows people at their lowest point riding the bus. It’s so normal everywhere else.

I even hear people say it while riding transit. There was a fight on the Portland MAX while I was riding home the other day and one guy said "If you had [money] then you wouldn't be on the MAX"

Bro some of us just hate driving and parking

Public transit being cheaper is a pro not a con

actually sharing your space with poors is a good thing

He invested in crypto, got lucky, realized that he didn't deserve all that money, so he decided to reinvest in his community public services to help those less fortunate than him and help to make his city more efficient and safer for everyone, then he realized that public transit was the superior option? What a Chad!

plot twist: he got out before the bubble burst, moved somewhere with good public transport, and can take the bus to things he wants to do without needing to work anymore

sounds like heck on earth
