Maybe build infrastructure that gets people off the road so you can get to work on time.
Last I checked a bike takes up less space than a car.

Infrastructure isn’t the entirety of the problem. My city is a dense populated core surrounded by a sprawl of suburbs and office parks—tons of people live in the city and commute out to the suburbs for office work. The office areas are too spread out for a transit system to service (we have a decent commuter network, but you’re lucky if your office is close enough to it), so it’s pretty much drive or bust.
That's literally all an infrastructure (and infrastructure planning) problem. Designers planned for car-centric infrastructure, so that's what we got. Sprawl begets sprawl; spreading out destinations means you need more pipes/sewage/electrical/roadway to reach each destination, and roadways are space-inefficient, so the problem compounds.
Exactly! When I say "infrastructure," I mean how they design how people get from A to B. Removing a road and putting buildings in its place to get more density is infrastructure the same way as putting in a bike path or rail line is. It's all about urban planning and deciding how people will get to their destinations.

The funniest part about this is I’m constantly surrounded by cunts on my commute to work but none of them are on bikes.
Being a cunt isn’t exclusive to your chosen vehicle.
I make other drivers late just by driving the speed limit.
Why does it have to be car propaganda? I only walk or use public transport and still hate them.
Aww, man... I want a recumbent tricycle.
I'll admit, this is the first post to make me legitimately laugh on c/funny.
