WTF are you going on about? We’re talking about city bus routes to get you around town. Most bus routes are at most a ten minute walk. To claim that a city bus is 30 miles away is a verifiable lie. Do you not know what a city or a bus or a mile is?

While technically true, car and bike share aren’t publicly managed, they are affordable forms of transportation available to the public that negate the need to have a vehicle in a city.

LOOOOLOLOL okay go ahead and “verify” that nowhere in America is 30 miles from a bus stop. I’ll wait.

You’re doing a really poor job of using your words to communicate whatever it is that’s on your mind. Are you having a different conversation than the rest of us?

You responded to me when I said I don’t need a car in a city because of all the publicly available transportation. You said “That’s great that you have that but those options don’t exist in most of the US”.

I said my point was that living in a city is more convenient than most of the country which is not a city.

You said “We’re talking about cities…” then went on to claim without a source that “Maybe 10% of those have useable public transport”.

You doubled down and responded to “Public transportation is certainly an option in cities.” with “Not in US cities.”

And now you are claiming that there are cities where the closest bus stop is 30 miles away.

I don’t know if a 30 mile wide city is even a thing that exists anywhere in the country let alone the fact that what you’re claiming would likely mean the city is actually 61 miles wide for someone to be 30 miles from the nearest bus.

Perhaps if you could be more specific about the location you have in mind we could have an intelligent conversation.

If I wanted a recap of our conversation I would have asked ChatGPT. You’re getting caught up in the details and intentionally ignoring the point.
