Comment on YouTube’s Loaded With EV Disinformation
joshhsoj1902@lemmy.ca 7 months agoThis is where I think you have a skewed picture of reality.
In North America 20% of people live in rural areas.
As much as I wish that was “vast majority” it isn’t.
Your simple view of public transit doesn’t line up with the realities in North America. I wish it did, but it doesn’t. And unfortunately your uninformed arguments are the fuel actual opponents of public transit use to justify their position.
It doesn’t help the cause to spread uninformed arguments

I don’t live in the US. Are you saying 20% of all people in the US live outside any settlement?
Even if that’s the case that’s one country, it’s applicable to every other country.

Every country I look up has at least 15% of their population loving in rural areas.
Yes this means that ~20% of most countries live outside low density towns or high density cities.

Rural doesn’t mean a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. Small towns and villages should absolutely get a train connection.

Rural does mostly mean farmhouses and houses in the woods. And yes small villages should get a train connection. But remember you’re suggesting this is a cheap and easy solution when compared to EVs, what you’re suggesting would be very very expensive.
