MODERATORS
If you advocate for public transport, then you can provide these people with an adequate alternative to driving.
More interested in bike paths but trams and trains are cool too
Why not both? Trams and bike paths can work really well together.
I think we're all shocked you're not already retired, Mickey. ;)
Always interesting on social media sites trying to guess if the poster is male/female and how old
What's the Lemmy equivalent of driving around real slow?
Maybe posting 90s memes?
I would say boomer memes.
You have no more right to use public roads than anyone else.
Correct, but if you can do shopping at any time, you should aspire to do it when there are as few people as possible. That goes for everyone and it also works for most non group activities, such as driving
One of my favourite things about being retired is the ability to go to the shops in the middle of the day, when it's quiet. No crowds. Parking. No rush. Bliss!
I work mostly evenings and weekends and being able to run errands when it's not busy and do chores when flatmates aren't around makes up for it.

Having been a 2nd and 3rd shifter most of my adult life, I miss going shopping in the middle of the night when hardly anyone was there.

“I’ve done my shopping at 11 am on saturdays for the last 40 years and even though the shops are packed and the selection is poor, I’m not going to consider moving to 10 on Monday instead”
It's tractors and some guy regularly riding a horse and cart round my way.
Lmao sounds like where I grew up in Mississippi. Farmers everywhere, but quite a few Mennonites and Amish too
nothing makes a tired annoyed version of me happier before dawn than going extra slow just to piss off the asshole riding my ass with LED headlights lighting up my whole cabin
*to clarify, the situation I am talking about is where I'll be doing my usual up-to-20% over the speed limit minding my own business on my way to wherever in the morning, and some jackass with LED headlights at the same height as my face comes up behind me and rides my ass for several kilometers despite multiple passing opportunities. when that shit happens, my dreary morning just got interesting and I have something to keep me entertained
I usually just pull over when possible and let them get ahead of me. Not worth the drama.
I give them the chance to pass by moving all the way right in the lane and slowing down at passing opportunities. after a few missed opportunities, I'll fuck with them for the entertainment.
but yes, not always worth it.

Get rid of your car. Problem solved.
Replaced with what? There's no infrastructure here.
I don't have any problem with someone driving under the speed limit as long its within the legal amount. My problem is buttplugs. Buttplugs are creatures who crawl up someones ass and refuse to pass. They prevent the people behind them from legally passing and just sit there for mile after mile.
A mutation of the buttplug is the plugipede. Where you have mulitple buttplugs all up each others ass and content to follow one another at less than two car lengths apart.
I never blame the guy going five under at the front.
butt plugs with LED headlights, no less

I have never commuted by car, but I plan to get a car when I retire so I can drive around in the mornings.
a bunch of old geezers cruising the local 'strip' from 7-9am just like we used to back in high school at night on the weekends.
Retire? Fucking hilarious!
And also ignore pedestrians, even though they just stared in my soul while waiting them to stop (but they just slowed down and didn't stopped)
I just retired, and my wife still complains that I drive too fast. I'm joining a gym next week and getting back into writing and fermenting, and so won't have much time to annoy Frank Freeway during his commute from hell.
It's the same guy!
Automobiles are a toy. If you're an adult with actual responsibilities and you need to be somewhere on time, take the train.

It's even worse on public transport. At least where I live. They have the whole day available but decide to use the buses between 7 and 9 in the morning and 15-17 afternoon when most people go to/from work/school
Perhaps public transit is there to help the public get around and you should be advocating for higher availability, not lower ridership
My issue is that they could literally take the bus 30 minutes later and be alone on the bus. It's just fascinating that they use them at a time of highest ocupancy.
Maybe they spend too much time alone and enjoy being in the throng on the bus.
Who knows.
They may have an appointment early in the morning, a time slot that may be harder for a young person to fullfill. Maybe they have a scheudled event to be at, many of which start at the same time as business opening hours. Maybe they just want to get to the store when it opens, get their shopping done, and be able to enjoy the rest of the day at their own pace.
Yep. There are a lot of people out there, each with their own lives and schedules. Work isn't the only thing in life people have to deal with, and responsibilities don't end when one retires.

Have you considersd that they may still be working due to poor wages and a lack of social safety nets?
Nope. Because they would not have the free red ticket for retired people

Major "Main Character Syndrome" vibes. Other people have their own lives and their own reasons, ya know?
Is it though? I am not saying they are not allowed to use them or anything. I just wonder why they use them when everyone else does as well. I have taken buses outside those times and not many retirees or old people take them. If I had the whole day I would probably not take the most crowded bus and take the one that is almost empty.
Strike up a conversation and find out how their day is going. Maybe you'll get the answers you seek.
