    Yeah, public transpiration would be great if my fellow Americans weren’t such filthy, disgusting trash. I am not sitting on the seat that smells like ass cheese because the guy that was sitting on it 5 stops ago is a nasty fat fuck. Not like the bus company ever houses them down but once a month, either.

    Japanese public transportation is immaculate and the number of people that use it is mind-blowing. There is no excuse. America, you’re fucking disgusting, lazy trash.

      That is your city maybe but all the transit I’ve used was nice other than the terrible service speed and frequency.

      Eh, it depends. Lots of vomit later at night. Also people taking their masks OFF to sneeze and cough without covering their mouths on the trains during corona was fun. But, most of the time, I would agree

      The big irony is that Japan’s systems are so smooth because they don’t organise themselves democratically. The west literally can’t replicate it because they have no experience implementing a functional compromise. Majority rule means you stop looking for solutions once 51% of people are convinced it’s a good idea.

          very broadly they will try to find a solution that works for everyone. it’s why you don’t really see large groups, if 1 person doesn’t want to get pizza then the group isn’t getting pizza. in the west that 1 person is getting a shitty pizza shop salad because they’ve been out voted.
