“Giving people more viable alternatives to driving means more people will choose not to drive, so there will be fewer cars on the road, reducing traffic for drivers.”
Concise, easy to understand, and accurate. I have used it at least a dozen times and it is remarkable how well it works.
Also—
“A bus is about twice as long as a car so it only needs to have four to six passengers on board to be more efficient than two cars.”
Maybe don’t identify with the demographic the term applies to since it’s entirely by choice and such a stupid thing to base your identity around.
As a carbrain myself, I like the name. I would enjoy the irony of a bumper sticker with it.
On topic though, I can’t imagine a valid argument AGAINST better public transportation. Everything about it would make us carbrains’ driving experience safer and just…better.
This may surprise you but many people simply don’t have a choice due to where they live
Identifying with the term “carbrain” is a choice.
One can have no choice due to lack of walkable, bikeable, or public transit infrastructure and also be annoyed about it. The would not make one a carbrain, but someone who is probably going to advocate for change.
Carbrain means you are so indoctrinated by the private vehicle industry that you can’t consider other options, get annoyed by bicyclists and pedestrians, and can’t possibly fathom taking public transit. That’s the entire argument.
Fuckcars also doesn’t mean we are literally sticking our dicks in tailpipes, but since you’re not big on reading between the lines I guess I’ll clarify that for you as well.
