Working from home is the best. Not everyone can do it, but those who can, should be allowed to. Return to office isn’t for us, it’s for them.

Where I live there is 0 public transport. I charge my EV with my own solar panels. So I think I am okay.

Yeah in a world where transit isnt a shit show. In my city transit will take you 2 hours to get home when a car will take 20 minutes

That is exactly why we need better public transit.

[–] valtia@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Bike/Electric scooter + public transport is a peak mobility, but public transport isn't even built for that :(

Not in South FL. Our trains have designated bike racks on the interior and our busses have bike racks on the front. I take a train to work every day, it's really nice.

It's also collectivizing the solution rather than expecting us each to address the problem on an individual level that doesn't change the status quo one iota.

US public transportation is pathetic, but prior to the 1960's it was quite extensive only to be destroyed by the oil and automobile lobbyists.

What about electric public transit? EV buses are becoming quite popular in Korea.

My friend’s work is over an hour from his house by public transport—if public transport is working, and it’s a weekday. If it isn’t working well, if it’s late, if it’s a weekend or holiday, then it’s closer to two hours (or more).

It’s 15 minutes max by car.

And he lives in a place with good public transportation.

Until we improve how public transportation runs, so that it really is designed around how people need to get from A to B, cars are going to be the more popular choice.
