So suppose we don’t like cars and want to not need them. What are the transportation alternatives for rural areas? Are there viable options?...

I live in REDACTED and its a heavy car based location....

Most people are aware that gasoline sucks as a fuel and is responsible for a large portion of carbon emissions, but defenders love to trot out that “if every end consumer gave up their car, it would only remove like 10% of carbon emissions”...

So I made a passing comment of “it’s almost like private car ownership is a really inefficient use of space and resources” the other day, which I didn’t really pay much mind to. But all the replies were either explaining the concept of public transportation as if I don’t know that’s the solution to private car...

this is supposed to be a meme but something is broken and I can’t remove it :(

In front of a bike shop in their parking area! Where I was told to try out the bike I was going to buy! All while I couldn’t hear myself think because multiple cars driving on the nearby road had illegally modified their vehicles to be as loud as possible.

Two days ago I was cycling along a rural road; slightly before an intersection (a road to the left, like this: -|) a guy behind me started to pass me on the left lane and a woman on the intersecting road tried turning right....

It was a nice surprise being able to walk to our hotel directly from the airport on well maintained side walks and cross walks.

Hey, fellow my new fellow /c/fuckcars Lemmy community! I finished watching the TV show “Baskets” around a year ago and couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of soul-sucking depression when it came to its portrayal of car-centric suburbs. I wanted to reach out to you all and see if anyone else shared the same sentiments....

Hope this post is accepted here, have nowhere epse to post it....

I will be living in Krakow next year, and it’s quite a big city, so I might need to get a bike to get around. How bad is it to ride a bike, especially during winter? Is the snow going to be a problem?

This might be an unpopular opinion but I feel like public parks should have less parking or smaller parking lots. Having a big lot destroys the very nature people are coming to enjoy. I’ve also noticed it leads to people just driving to the park and not even getting out of their cars. I’ve seen so many people just eating...

Hello fuck cars,...

Sorting the posts on this sub by "top of all time" you see it's mostly memes. Is there a sub like this where people actually discuss solutions to these problems and encourage activism? Otherwise this sub is more of a way to distract potential activists with emotional venting.

As mentioned, Walmart Chicago is closing all locations, more than likely due to theft, like Portland. If you ask me, I'd say rip up the buildings and parking lots and put a lot of flats or bus stations or something as a replacement.

I'm a person living in a rural area and have to either go by train, the nearest station being 15 mins away by car and the trains having a schedule that keeps fluctuating....

Disclaimer: I'm not from the US....

There is currently petition citizen initiative underway to urge the European Commission to connect all capitals of the EU with high-speed rail....

There is apparently a phenomenon in the US now, where parents drive to the school individually to pick up and drop off their children at the beginning and end of the day. Some people I work with even take time off from working to do this. When the parents descend on the school each day there's insane traffic, cars lined up for...

I've lost count personally. Curious as to what other's experiences have been.
