One of the reasons I really like DC. You legit don't need a car there.

Lol, no way. They'll basically say they own the software, and you can't do anything except not get one. They already say you don't own the OS in your phone πŸ˜‹

Why do you say that?

I guess that's ultimately what would happen, and indeed wouldn't work.

Self harm was just an example of a duty to report, wasn't saying that's the same, I know that's how it probably sounded.

Yeah, I don't know this, but did we very gently slay a ton of animals learning how to do surgery and heart transplants?

I'm not a huge fan either, but how do people feel when the procedure saves their mom or kid?

Ha, you're probably right. I guess you aren't supposed to talk to the driver, but I imagined they would see and hear from a lot of the city's community members, might know people's lives more?

Maybe not, like you said, just keep your eyes and the road and don't interact wouldn't offer much perspective.

Edit, maybe more empathy when people take issue with road conditions and traffic! πŸ˜‹

You mean because it's public transit and might need more subsidy to raise wages and thus probably becomes political?

Actually, my wife and I still planning to use it for hotel tango trips so no driving and Uber is $50 round trip.

I live in suburbs, and work outside of downtown, so I can't really use it for visiting her at lunch.

I want to support it though because that's how we get the funds and politicals to not constantly try to shut it down. I thought it was cool idea. I heard tons of hate for taking lanes.

You like it?

Yeah, I just edited the comment. That narrative is tired and political, and I honestly didn't think of that at the time.

Not that it really matters what the example is.

Thanks for this. Honestly, I see this a bit differently from my initial thoughts.

As a commuter, I hate the parking limitations and costs.

If I was a resident, I would hate people meddling in city business. Pretty easy to happen since state legislation is there.

Edit: I've had driver's training from contractors like you'd see in movies....I still wouldn't want to drive in NYC πŸ˜‹
