    This doesn’t work if you have any distance to go.

    Many parts of the world don’t require people to go more than at most 10km for almost any reason, ever. I assume you’re American, in which case you’re totally right. Broken country designed only for cars.

      I mean it’s not really that it’s a shit country designed only for cars. It’s also a rather huge country that you can travel quite a ways to get to whatever you’re needing to do.

          I mean we have trains also but just like those countries also have cars and infrastructure we also have cars and infrastructure. The amount of time it takes for a train to go from point a to point b is quite often much longer than what it takes for a car to get to point a to point b. They’re oftentimes where I work 3 to 400 mi away in a single day I can literally get up in the morning drive out there do a job complete it and drive back and be back at my house by that evening. There is no way on a train I could get up make it out there with all of my tools completed job and make it back to my house at any time in a single day.

            No, we really don’t. We used to, and then automotive companies bought our country, killed all the passenger trains, and redesigned every city to require cars.

              Yes, the idea that America has trains I think really betrays that this user doesn’t really know any other type of infrastructure than broken car-centric bullshit. Not blaming them, that’s just what you get in America.

            Not actually correct with high speed rail. Also, you’re talking about a work vehicle which is obviously a different category from a commuter vehicle and not at all the subject of this post.
