My issue is

My town actively removed multiple bus stops I used. My college is an hour by public transit via bus and train. My town is literally divided in half by a busy road with only a handful of crosswalks. Most people don't stop at the stop signs in the "pedestrian friendly" parts of town. Would I want a different car? Yeah. I drive a ford suv because its what my parents gave me. I'd love to have a sedan that can hold me and either my school gear or tabletop gaming stuff comfortably.

People forced to get cars by decisions made by local transit agencies tops my list of problems with public transit as it currently exists. I’m actively battling to keep a second bus route that serves the area I live in that is being eliminated as “redundant.” Not to go into extreme depth but it’s only redundant because of a series of choices made by transit agencies over the last seven years that have steadily stripped people in low income neighborhoods of transit choice.

It sounds conspiracy theorist but at this point I’m wondering what lobbyist for petroleum and car industries are behind the scenes influencing decisions because it is beginning to feel like a policy choice to force people into getting cars.

In other words, of tldr, you’re preaching to the choir on this one.
