"I hate these damn bike lanes. Screw your studies. I'm not reading that"
"Cut gas taxes. I see no reason why I should pay to support public transit"
"Fuck speed limits. I'm proud to break the law"
This sense of entitlement is insane.

The time saved is due to the green lights and less congestion. The time saved due to the speeding is miniscule in comparison.
Does that mean you want to time lights to be green if you go the proper speed, then? As in, none of this "traffic calming" bullshit.
No i was pointing out that speeding isn't the main factor speeding them up. Providing alternatives to driving is a better solution to congestion and traffic. Each lane of a road has a shockingly low capacity when compared to other ways of getting around.
The day train travel, or any form of transit, becomes genuinely pleasant in Ontario, I will gladly use it quite often. I'd like to know why it is that in several European countries, seats are rotatable so you don't have to awkwardly face strangers, but we don't have that. Or why our trains are painfully slow by comparison.
