    Recently visited York (UK) and they have a fantastic bus system - and they’re electric.

      Busses in my city are also going electric. So far only the local routes. The longer distance routes are still diesel

    It makes a good point but only if your country actually has public transport.

    If you live somewhere with zero public transport, the car is your only option.

      That’s why the post advocates for public transport. So that we can have better options.

    What do I do when there’s no bus route anywhere near my work? I cycle when it’s weather appropriate but I ain’t cycling to work in 20°C heatwave.

      they only need to live within walking distance from any bus stop along the line. the difference averages out to something around that ballpark

      Is the idea of 68 people living within a few blocks of a bus line hard to believe? You know they don’t all get on on from the same stop, right?
