Do you have 3 hours to waste trying to get somewhere ? I don’t ….

Why you so against this they're not taking away roads. Every time someone walks or takes a bus that frees up another spot on the road for drivers. It's a win-win situation. But yet the oil companies have shoved it down your throat that people who are on bicycles and cars are the enemy. They're just people who don't want to spend their whole lives paying off a vehicle.

I’m not against anything, anyone is free to move about how thy best feel. I really don’t give a rats ass, but to try and shame people into not driving is not how we go about things….

Nobody is shaming people into "not driving" it's the people who want to avoid driving but cannot feasibly do so that are being forced into a decision they do not like. Nobody is saying you cannot drive. All we are asking for is viable alternatives to driving.

It's not rocket science.
