The greatest trick Bay Area car drivers ever pulled was convincing the world corporate charter buses are transit’s main enemy.

      @mattyglesias they're the embodiment of fuck you got mine. Collective transport is fine as long as I don't have to be too close to a poor.

      @abrinton Why do they embody “fuck you got mine” better than driving a car that you own?

      @mattyglesias @abrinton You're missing the point: the use of public bus stops (& the clogging thereof) without any payment to SF.

      @YNkate Imagine how fast the public buses would go with no private cars on the road.

      Not practical, of course, when tech offices are located in the suburbs. Plus: drivers pay for the roads they use. @mattyglesias

      @mattyglesias What is this question? Via taxes of course. Public bus stops are not designed for private AND public buses. You use, you pay.

      @YNkate What taxes do cars pay that private buses don’t?

    @mattyglesias It certainly requires some mental gymnastics to disregard the benefits of privately funded mass transit...
