Also, 36,500 people were killed, and 4.5 million people were injured in the USA in 2019.

This report makes the mistake of blaming individuals for not wearing seatbelts and speeding, when a shift in urban design is necessary to mitigate this disaster.

    Nah I’d rather pay 1,000$/yr on average per person in the entire country in than even think about how nice busses would be with that budget

      Pretty much this. I’d rather be driven somewhere in a luxury Greyhound equivalent, rather than sit in traffic idle and inhaling exhaust for hours

      Where I am we now have fully air conditioned electric buses with phone chargers, bankrolled by the govt. It’s nice not having to deal with other drivers on the road
