That's cool and all but I'm an industrial electrician. I have to drive to the shop every day, and travel all over the country. Can't exactly just walk over to a coal mine in bumfuck nowhere Kentucky
Just use the bus, duh.
Can't tell if this is sarcasm but just to put my city's transit into context, it'd be a 2 hour bus ride to get to the shop via bus from my house. And that's:
12 minute walk -> ride a bus -> 6 minute walk -> transfer and take a different bus -> 14 minute walk
Or a 22 minute drive
It was sarcasm.
But you could ride a bike! Which is really fun! In the winter, when there is heavy snow, or even on rainy summer days.
I don't get that some people just don't understand that it's sometimes just really inconvenient to not use a car, at least for some people. Please let them use cars without blaming them for doing so...? ๐ฅบ
