Here are 5 other steps we can take to ensure our morning commutes are an absolute breeze, and we don’t need to (swallows vomit) take transit or (dry heaves) ride a bike.
How is he still fooling people. I keep talking to folks who think he’s doing a great job.
Drive less? Sure I’ll just not go to work and die
Making return-to-office mandates illegal would take a bite out of traffic congestion without putting people out of work or requiring any kind of monetary investment. Ford would never do that, however. I expect his friend-circle includes people who own office buildings in Toronto.
Right but you keep bringing up a problem I find with the anti car crowd, they don’t consider poor or working class people. Work from home, office mandates? That’s upper middle class shit. What do you suggest for a person who works labor. Construction. Different sites every week?
Most anti car people are upper middle class or wealthy kids, raised in cities and have no regard or idea how poor or working class people live, and think we’re all in the same situation as a childless, single young person who lives downtown.
I personally cannot strap my kids to my back. Get on a bike, ride them to school and daycare, then travel another 50km in winter on a fucking bicycle. And transit in my city is beyond pathetic, so less cars would first mean expending the transit system and budget and, that’ll be when pigs fly unfortunately
Poor people can’t drive. You can’t drive on minimum wage. You can’t have a place to live and drive on less than 50k. Driving is a privilege that many of us just don’t have. You act like that’s not the case, like we all just fucking shrivel up and die the moment we lose our license. You adapt. Life goes on. It’s not the end of the fucking world. Pull your head out of your ass. You’re not afraid you can’t work, literally millions of people in this province find a way to keep working. you’re afraid of a loss to your quality of life. And you don’t give a shit that your quality of life comes at the loss of other people’s quality of life.
Hey look it’s a comment from the parallel universe where trains, trams, buses, bicycles, and legs were never invented. What’s it like living in a universe where nobody has legs?
TIL I’m dead
Must be nice not needing to work to survive
Must be nice having a job that allows you to drive. Unlike me and everyone else I know struggling to get by.
Cities other than Toronto build bus and rail infrastructure. if i have to drive to the office it is 1.5 hours with traffic, so I prefer the bus, it takes 2 hours due to additional stops, but It also meana I have freedom to read, chat, work on something that I could not do in the car. And the city already has a plan to extend ight rail into our area…so looking foreward to hopping on the train system and then driving or riding will be same time or less
You can take the train dumbass
So you’re just assuming everyone lives where trains run?
The one and only cure for traffic is mass transit. If ford is talking about anything else it is because his rich friends can make money from it. Tell him to get rich friends who build busses and trains… #dugfordisaclown
Has anyone noticed that the Ford family is the Quimby family from the Simpsons?
I hate that the Beaverton makes more sense than our political leaders…
Building an elevated highway on top of the 401 is genuinely a less unrealistic plan than a 50km tunnel under the 401.
Geez don’t give him any ideas!
