Whenever Europeans ask why Americans don't take public transport, it's like asking why The Emperor's New Suit never gets dirty.
Everybody knows the answer to that question, but nobody is allowed to say it.

@cjd @xaetacore Public transport is amazing, trains will get you places faster and more comfortably than cars ever can. Instead of having the courage to address the nigger problem everyone just switched to cars and created a traffic hellscape.
Public transportation should be the only transportation allowed in society, and if you don't like it change the racial composition.

I live in France, currently a rural area which is 95% white.
Even in Paris though, there is no issue with non-whites that makes public transport BAD. They're polite, quite, etc. French govt does not tolerate animalistic behavior from anyone.
Suffice to say, I'm pretty experienced with public transport - and I still prefer taking the car.
1. No waiting
2. It's not crowded
3. It's never delayed because of some technical problem
4. It goes straight to where I want to be
There's no change of racial composition that will really fix these issues. I think public transport ought to exist as an option, but in any society there are good reasons not to want that option.

@cjd @xaetacore All of your points are purely a policy problem, rail transports cargo faster and cheaper (=less crowded) than road. Secondary transportation like tram can get you to your final destination. Wait times no longer than 5 mins if you do it right.
You can't complain about the crowding and not shitskinning in the same breath, they're the same thing.

That looks like a Bombardier Challenger fitted for 1st class airline service.
There's a train from the big town near me to Paris, and it looks close to that nice. It's 40€ one way. It is worth it sometimes because you can relax or work while you're in transit, but taking the Volvo is like 20 in fuel for the round trip, and that carries 4 people...

@cjd @ProfessorBalls @xaetacore And yet the Volvo usually carries 1 person. First class annual ticket costs you as much as a car annually, even cheaper if you're talking about newer cars, and with number of customers the price only goes down. Sit back relax, doze off, read a book, 300km/h, no traffic jams, no parking, you can't beat that.
My car payment is about 250/month.
The public transport story is kind of complex, if you're in the Paris area you can get infinite public transport for 80/month, from here there are subscriptions but you only get a discount from the subscription.
But here's the kicker: The public transport doesn't really eliminate the need for a car. If you live where I do, it just doesn't go here. But even in a more urban area, it's shutdown at night, you can't carry big items, and it's not good in an emergency. For example: Taking my wife to the hospital to have our baby.
And once you have kids, you carry around a stroller everywhere. So public transport (as it currently exists) just doesn't really solve that need.
As a result everyone needs a car, and then that extra 80/month for public transport ends up being "in addition to" rather than "instead of"...
