    Sweet. I get picked up by a $35 million vehicle with almost 10,000 horsepower, multiple employees, and a restaurant on board. Usually very punctual and never stuck in traffic.

      Ah, lucky. I love the $35 million dollar, 10k horsepower vehicle. Mine didn’t have a food car but train commutes are my favorite commutes. The Providence line was cursed though, always getting stuck or trolled by another train and therefore delayed. For hours sometimes :(

    Sheik’s son studies in Prague. He writes a letter home, saying: “I’m sad to see my favorite professor commute by tram while I’m driven around in a Mercedes.” A week later, a check for €3M comes with the note: “Go buy yourself a tram too.”

    Is that really a car?

    My sister insists her SUV which gets to skirt around environmental rules because it’s classified as a light truck is a “car”. That’s pushing it, I think. This bus is a motor vehicle, but it has more wheels than a car, and carries far more passengers than a car. It doesn’t have to follow the same safety regulations that cars do (although it has some regulations of its own).

      My city went fare free during COVID and managed to get a grant to stay that way 5 more years as a pilot. Super cool and feels like living in the future and I take it everywhere if I can.

      the secret is living way the hell out of the city and spending 1+ hour commuting in on the 300k vehicles that pick you up
