I grew up using public transportation where I still had to walk over 1 mile at each end. Shitty repurposed school buses, with no a/c or heat on extreme temperatures, on poorly paved streets.

Could you control by portion of the population over time?
I grew up using public transportation where I still had to walk over 1 mile at each end. Shitty repurposed school buses, with no a/c or heat on extreme temperatures, on poorly paved streets.
