    Lemmy: Cars are a plague and shouldn’t exist, communities need functional public transit

    Also Lemmy: Someone used public transit when they could have walked? Pathetic.

      Both can be true. I love public transport, but I wouldn’t take the bus for 1.5 km. I’d walk or, at most, take my bike.

      Yes, also if it’s a little rainy outside.

        You might take the bus on the many make days a year there’s a heat advisory to stay indoors In my state (USA). Plus often when it rains here, it’s not a little rainy. It goes from sunny to pouring in 15 minutes, torrential downpour for 20 minutes and right back to sunny. Pretty unpredictable. But mostly I don’t think it’s nuts to take the bus to class when there’s time pressure and then walk home when there’s not.
