    @ComradeSalad @sevenapples Tokyoite here. “Logistically Impossible” my ass - Shibuya station was completely renovated just a few years ago. They just opened a brand new station in the Yamanote Line. Old stations are repaired and upgraded all the time here.

    The US simply does not care about public transit, and Americans invent all kinds of excuses to avoid facing the fact of local incompetence and lack of political will.

      I’m not making excuses. I mean currently with the resources and systems available, it is not possible.

      You’re right, the government does not care about public transit.

      Do you think this is a group decision or something?

      “Local incompetence? Lack of political will? Fuck off, I’m sure the people working 50 hours a week and poverty wage jobs are absolutely roaring with energy to fight for public transit.

      Imagine blaming the people.
