No one is going to put in a train just for you. You can still ride the bus. You'll just have to start out earlier and get home later. If you aren't willing to make sacrifices to save the planet then why do you expect everyone else to?
Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

why is no one going to put in a train for everyone?
if a scooter is 2 hours then a bus will be longer than that.
A train is at some point inconvenient unless you plan on putting in a line every mile or so. If no one has cars then the train has to be close enough to walk to or ride a bike to. Especially when weather is bad. One train line might be convenient for you if it's close enough but if it's say 5 miles away it doesn't do you any good. So you'd have to have train lines all over the place. That's not going to happen. You forget that North America is much, much larger than Europe but with a smaller population. You really haven't thought this through. And yet you'll ignore this and keep insisting. At some point I have to wonder if you were dropped on your head as a baby.
So take the bus in warmth. Read a book. Look at your phone. Watch a movie. Otherwise drive your car.
my gf is hot
im better at religion than most people
i dress better
i get more air on my snowboard
i drift my car
i drive public bus
i do extreme sports
so obviously im pretty good
now back to our conversation, initially said we should not expand our public transit system which would mean high speed trains in some places, but obviously some places are dense enough to have high speed.
i think more than 2 hour transit ride is too long for a work commute. 2 hour scooter ride is too long which was your proposal. 1 hour high speed train is not too long.
You need high speed trains to replace your car according to you. Trains go from point A to point B. They don't go all over like cars do. To make trains replace cars you'll need a lot of them. Not feasible.
You being a Muslim would make a lot of sense. Does your gf wear a burqa for you?
If she's from a conservative Muslim family then they don't like her infidel boyfriend. Could be dangerous for her.
Might be a sacrifice @rickyb is willing to make if it could get him into the UK. He left his Mexican girlfriend for it.
im still waiting to hear about your imaginary love life.
valentines day is coming up, dont waste the opportunity!
you said we dont have to improve our transit system to european levels to get hte same benefits
and i showed you how your fastest recommendation of transit, a gas scooter, is not feasable.
Then get a job closer to where you live. And I didn't say any such thing. I've repeatedly told you there are options to a car. The only feasible one for you appears to be the bus. That is if you intend on doing your share to save the planet. If you aren't willing to give up your car to ride the bus then why are you telling everyone their cars are evil? There's no way they'll build enough train lines to replace cars. Even in Europe most people still use cars or scooters. The public transportation is good, yes, but not as freeing as a car. That's what people want, the freedom to move about in a timely manner.

My higher than room temperature IQ prevents me from doing that on an online forum for truck drivers.
Oh, yours must be as boring as mine is.
That I'm on this forum so much arguing with the likes of @rickyb pretty much sums up my life, love or otherwise.
