Study after study shows that increasing lanes increases the number of drivers and congestion remains the same. The reverse is true too, decreasing lanes has no net effect on congestion see here and here and here. Road that have undergone these transitions have also been shown over and over again to reduce accidents.…

Oh, fucking cut me a break. I hear the same arguments from people demanding registration, licensing, etc... Then I’m still treated like a red-headed stepchild when I’m on my motorcycle and have to defend my lane from morons than want to share my lane despite my objections.

I don’t want bike lanes. I prefer normal traffic lanes from which I can turn left. I use the safer of the two, which is my option. Don’t like it,? tough shit.

The addition of bicycle lanes does not remove our right on the road. I understand the confusion, people think I can’t park my motorcycle in a car stall, either (I prefer the automobile stalls to the motorcycle stalls).

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Just stop.

This stuff has been studied extensively by traffic experts. I’ll take their word over yours, frankly.

That’s sort of how it works. Or, people get smart, and bike to work / take mass transit / use ride sharing / park-n-rides, etc.

Guns serve no purpose (outside of Greg’s very explicit list) in 2015 America

Ban all guns. Make them illegal to posses. Getting caught with one is an automatic jail sentence. This nonsense has gone on for too long. This amendment was authored by people who were okay with slavery. It does not, and should not, translate to 2015 America

The rich people I know in NYC do in fact take the buses since they are scared of the trains. Uber wants to be affordable at the price of their drivers at the moment and for the foreseeable future. I see no immediate downside to autonomous electric cars at the moment but I also do not see Uber discontinuing its current…

Public transportation is better for the environment, better for a city and better for the people as it brings equity.

I feel like it’s more because it’s ingrained in the American mindset that you need a car. And urban development is based around that idea too.

I don’t expect a village of 500 people to have a mass transit system. But something like LA is sorely lacking still. A network of busses and sparse rail lines I’d hardly call decent.

Nobody will vote for the needed taxes to run a public transit system.

Until gas is up $8/gal nationally, the US has it made and I really see no reason to complain gas approaches that much.

Yeah, I too prefer giant pickup trucks covered in guns/NRA/Obama’s a Muslim/Rush is Right/Anti-Abortion bumper stickers.
