    Canada. Transit is no prize here either (I’d say it’s at least as bad as the US because we share the exact same urban planning philosophy) but somehow we manage and the buses are packed every day, and Canada consistently has higher transit ridership per capita despite having the same shitty, borderline nonexistent transit. Canada has a significantly lower population density compared to the US and especially compared to Europe so going by the American argument of why transit isn’t “practical” in the US, it should be even less practical for us, yet it works better here. We also don’t stigamitize bus ridership like y’all do, and people who take the bus every day don’t deal with “what, did you get a DUI?” remarks or mocked for being poor or from the ghetto. We have way fewer motivational alpha male podcasters making sweeping derogatory statements about anyone who doesn’t drive and asserting that it’s because you don’t have your life together (which you can solve by buying their course, of course). American entitlement and prejudice is why you don’t take the bus, don’t blame it on the bus itself.

    Also, walk to the gym then. The idea of sitting on your ass driving in order to work out of all things is insane to me. You can probably ditch the gym membership entirely if you walked.

      Brother. Take a deep breath. Lmao. You’re coming in hot with all these assumptions without knowing me. First assertion is that I am actually originally an American. I’m a fucking immigrant whose country had very little cars, and we didn’t even have such thing as public transportation. We just walked. Near me here in the US, the nearest bus stop is about a mile away. And the bus comes there literally once every couple of hours. So, going to the gym would take me at least 3 hours or more including my gym time.

      I don’t assume people are poor or ghetto or whatever shit you assumed I do without knowing me. Jeez. It would be the kettle calling the pot black, my dude. It would be stupid. I’ve been working out my whole life and I don’t need any lessons from you, thank you. I’ve never been fat in my life and will never be (I don’t go to the gym to be skinny. I can do that without gym). I just don’t want to waste 3 hours for something I can do in 5 minutes. I have this thing called life and family, ya know? My car is old and paid off, too. It ain’t no damn luxury either. Worked my ass off to pay it off. Don’t assume things about strangers you don’t know.
