Yeah, I hate driving, but it just sucks that this comm is more interested in insulting me for needing a car than helping me avoid the thing I hate. I sold my car last year… and now I have to borrow a car to get to therapy each week because a ten minute drive is an hour away on the bus, and that bus only comes by once every four hours. Cycling is not an option because it’s a truck route and I’ve already been run off the road once on a bike.

I really want to love this community, but it’s pretty clear that the general opinion is that I don’t deserve transit because my government isn’t listening to me. Like, holy shit, if you want to attend the public opinion meetings at my transit authority, they’ll send a car to pick you up because it’s not serviced by bus, and that’s better than most of the US. But I’m the carbrain when I complain about how unusable transit is.
