Hi OP,

Public transport was never ment to be a one size fits all solution. Public transport is great because it gives people options. You don’t have to use that option, but knowing that it is there if you need it is very important.

That’s why funding pubic transit is so critical.

+ To repeat what other person said - if more people will use public transit (because it’s reliable, and safe and they want to, not because they have to) you will have less traffic jams on your daily routes.

Reliable public transit benefits all, not just people who use it.

No actually it's shit to act like public transport, the most common example being trains, is this perfect magical answer to everything. It's shit to act like cars are some symbol of capitalist evil and always would be in any society. And it's shit to pretend that's not a real problem. Yeah I know the people saying things like that aren't in any position to make political changes based on those convictions. That doesn't mean it's not harmful.

I have been trying my best for a really long time to get better at using public transport, but it has cemented the fact that that's never going to be reliable as the only option for me. I know how to go on a specific route on the metro by myself. That's it. And sometimes even that is impossible. Me and my support worker have recently been working on going just the opposite way on the same line, and I'm having massive trouble getting my head around it. There's no way I could do this regularly and also get through whatever activity I was travelling for. And I know there are people who have bigger problems with it than me as well.

Just stop. How the hell would you feel if supposed leftists, people who were supposed to be on your side and for your rights and such, were glorifying something that causes you massive problems and demonising solutions you sometimes desperately need? I'm not evil because I sometimes need to take a taxi or be driven somewhere by my mum, who is my carer, when she is willing and able (something that I know is a privilege and I'm very grateful for).

When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then?

Take a 2 minute break and read this:

Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

You are really tired and frustrated. All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

1. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

2. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment

3. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

4. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
