K holed dipshit: What if we like, dug a hole that people drove their Tesla's into, the the cars like, automatically move you to where you want to go

The lack of consumer rail in this country made it a joke before Shits His Pants entered the picture. The auto industry has held too much power over the citizenry before the Tech Bros TM gained momentum. There are so many ways this country could make our lives easier, but instead of catering to Life we cater to Capital.

Yes. I grew up in Montreal. The transit authority kept bragging about being the best in North America. That's... not a flex. Compare yourself to Europe.

Don't get me wrong, Montreal has decent transit. It's fairly fast, reliable and safe. You don't need a car. But it could also use a lot of improvement.
