I'm reasonably sure that's a 3 hour long drive. America is big.
Depends on your perspective. I've lived in the locations in the Midwest where we choose to just drive 10 hours because the airport is so far away.
Ahh sorry, to me a trek means a walk
Make sure to avoid any star treks then
America is so car centric they're eliminating walking from the vocabulary
Star Trek but it’s just guys walking through space
hitchhiking really
Through the galaxy? Someone should write a book about that!
no, a book might be too hard to read. maybe a series of radio shows.
It's a fair point.
My city's about to get a new baseball stadium, and people are actually whining that they might have to park their car somewhere other than the stadium and walk.
And, mind you, we have a five-mile long, free passenger train that will take them right to the stadium. It's not gonna be hard to get there.
From what I can tell about 90% of Americans respond to phrases like "passenger train" with sheer panic.
I have been on exactly one train in the US and it wasn't great tbh
True.
And here, this conversation is kind of a re-tread of the past 10 years where we had to fight to get the passenger train, because all these drivers couldn't be bothered to give up a lane of traffic. Unfortunately that's just a fact of life in a sprawled American city, but luckily, the city fucking loves the train so it's that much harder for suburbanites to find support.
That's not even true a little.
it's a joke
Three hours wouldn't even get you outside Atlanta on foot.
