maybe where you live. closest train station is an hour away from me.
closest bus stop is an hour away from me
riding a bicycle would make my hour long commute two hours.
if I drove to a bus stop and rode a bus the rest of the way to work it would still take me two hours.
it’s always a black or white solution with you people and you never think of the grey area. dare I say at least 50% of the US population falls into the grey. if a solution fails to accommodate for more than half a population it’s not a solution, it’s just ineffective.
Average walking speed is 4km/h. So in four hours, you’d go 16km. If it takes you an hour to go 16km by car, then you’d literally be faster on a bike, because you can go past traffic without stopping
you’re right, speeds and distance are variable dependent on multiple external sources. Traffic, weather, time of day, windspeed, direction of travel, temperature.
should I also account for those or is it ok to just use average values?
Fuck this, I’d rather see less of this and more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Stroads in particular are one of man’s worst inventions IMO.
personally I would rather turn a hour long commute across state lines into a four hour long walk.
think of how thick my calves would be!
trains, busses, and bikes exist
That and I was talking more about infrastructure where you could easily walk to places too instead of having to drive everywhere

it always interesting to people who say ‘with current levels of funding’.
because taxes should be going to give you a closer train stop…
they should, but that’s not the reality we live in.
the only way things improve is we start demanding better.
lying down won’t do a thing
then demand it of your leaders, don’t demand it of your equals. we’re just as helpless as you are.
what makes you think I haven’t been?
if we don’t band together to demand it, what will actually change?
also please quote where I demanded anything of anyone here.
Only cause you don’t go to your city council meetings.
you know what they say about assumptions…

60mph, takes an hour, 60 miles distance.
that’s around 97km.
I guess my math was wrong, at 4km/h it would take me 24 hours, not 4.
👍 thanks!
edit: why the downvotes? the math checks out.
Go and look up what the actual average commute speeds are in any city you care to mention. No-one’s travelling at 60mph the entire distance.
