RT if you’d rather sit on a bus reading a book or staring out the window than commute behind the wheel in traffichttps://twitter.com/asymmetricinfo/status/1102277869978505216 …
A few replies to this express valid concerns about who you're sharing the bus with. I can't fault people for choosing to drive when it's a matter of personal safety!

Mistrust for your fellow human is a desirable social condition for those who would have us isolated and subject to the whim of the powerful. Car culture and suburban development enabled the dismantling of social programs that led to conditions driving people into cars for safety.
