  • It won't take effect until later this year. I'm talking about the time between now and when it takes effect.

  • I'm not saying it will be easy. But we should be moving in that direction.

  • Victoria's free public transport continues in May with half-price fares to follow

    Jump

  • Many who have the option to drive choose public transport for many trips. Me, for example.

  • The card surcharges are so annoying. I'm moving to cash until they ban them.

  • The fact that you can't imagine a world without cars is scary. Humans survived 10s of thousands of years without them. We've had cars just over 100 years. They're not integral to the human experience.

    Try to imagine better public transport, more people riding bikes and scooters, walkable cities.

    How much of our cities do we give up to cars? Between roads and parking, it's too much. Even then they still mount the footpath and kill people.

  • It is true that it's harder to date when you're poor. Try taking a woman out to dinner and asking her to pay for you. See if you get a second date.

  • Your US and A is a strange place. In Australia guns killed 30 or so people and we banned them.

  • Dating also costs money, which excludes some people. and people are less datable if they're unemployed.

    Both can be contributing factors.

  • "also". It doesn't have to be one or the other. Both could be contributing factors, and it looks like the research didn't control for either.

  • There's no way to safely mix cars with people. If there was, we would have done it by now. If anything else killed as many people as cars, we would ban it.

  • It could also be a correlation rather than causation. People with more money might be better at finding partners.

  • You're laughing at a pedestrian being killed and another seriously injured. You should be ashamed of yourself

  • Oh yeah, and also that other comedian I've forgotten the name of. What a dick.

  • What's a gadget or appliance that you purchased that you would wholeheartedly recommend to others?

    Jump

  • Wireless charger for my phone. No more fiddling with cables.

    Some little wireless ear buds. I just got cheap ones but I use them all the time, they're small, the case charges them, so they last ages. The sound quality of mine is mediocre, but I'm sure there are ones with better sound.
