    I wish that cycling and public transport was funded as much as the roads and car industry. Fuckcars

    It’s mad to look at train lines that as being too expensive short term, yet it’s a 150+ year investment, and has so many improvements, not least of which it increases the value of land around the station (something that isn’t captured in most countries assessments of rail income, though is in Japan)

      Yes and I’m sure trains work out as the cheaper option when you look at the number of passengers they carry vs the upkeep vs building a new road every few years.
