I met a former mayor and the previous cabinet’s department head on a train recently. Second class, 1970s rolling stock with just the seats and other furnishings modernized, not even Wi-Fi. Cool dude
Public transit is generally faster than driving around in big cities, especially places like NYC and Boston (at least when the T is actually operating as-intended).
Hell I live 45 miles away from my office and most days it is faster to do train–>subway–>half mile walk.
To these types of people, especially…time is money. You would think they would prefer public transit just for the time efficiency…or at least invest in it just to reduce the amount of traffic they have to deal with on the roads.
You don’t even see Musk riding around on a goddamn Segway. Which actually turns out to be a somewhat common Mandela effect, because I had to look it up to find out he didn’t actually invent/start Segway.
I’m so lucky that my work gives me a free public transport pass. It’s 25 mins from my door to the office with 10 of that being walking. I still have a car, but I dont need it for most days. Plus it would cost me like $180/month for parking at my work’s building. Hard pass.

The inventor of segway died on segway.
Inventor was Epstein linked. Guy who bought Segway later died in the accident.

I don’t think I’ve seen this before. But it’s perfect.
