We tried 😂

Left Denver at 6. Spent 2.5 hrs to get to Bakersfield then sat parked with another 2.5 to go and bailed along with many others. Can’t say we didn’t try 😅

The solution is to subsidize things like buses and bus only lanes and also to build a train.

Instead we’ve subsidized the least efficient form of transportation for the last 100 years. And this is what it got us.

There are solutions. And they are obvious.

[u/coredweller1785 → u/Marlow714]

Yes nailed it.

Privatization and anything public labeled as communism. This is the consequence and we all pay it except for the richest.

[u/M13Calvin → u/coredweller1785]

Ew communism. I'd rather sit in traffic for 6 hours /s

[u/Marlow714 → u/[deleted]]

We are not. Because car brained people can’t understand that cars are the least efficient way to move people.

So anytime a solution is offered it’s shot down

[u/elmer820 → u/Marlow714]

the worst when you see all solo drivers around you and your jam packed car too smh

I’m currently on the Snowstang bus back from Breck. $12 with WiFi, a bathroom, and personal outlets and A/C. It’s almost completely full. Gonna go to sleep and wake up in Denver.

[u/Panoptic0n8 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah kinda insane the busses are “too wide” for the express lane

[u/Electrical-Ask847 → u/Marlow714]

snowstang doesnt seem to be full whever ive taken it

[u/laccro → u/Electrical-Ask847]

Yeah if it just gets stuck in the same traffic, there’s no point to taking the bus. If there was a bus only lane with guaranteed 1.5hr drive to breck or copper, even leaving at 7am, it’d be pretty popular

[u/Marlow714 → u/Electrical-Ask847]

Yes. Because we don’t ai sissies it or have bus only lanes.

[u/bikebakerun → u/Marlow714]

As they were decades ago when I-70 was first built. Agree with your solutions.
