Preface: I work with a hard core "they're going to make us eat crickets" kinda guy.
He was going on about how "how bad traffic is in the GTA and how they are trying to take away our cars so that no one drives any more." So I point out that if they added a bunch more Go Trains in the GTA you wouldn't need your car to commute AND there would be less traffic on the highway for the people who do drive.
Bruh. There are how many million fucking cars that drive to the GTA and park every god damned day but you want to know where they are going to park 30 trains?
Car brain disease..
Show them a picture of the Mimico railyard. Then blow their mind with "with 24-hour service, fewer trains need parking."
Bad faith argument and false equivalency.
They don't think a second about the spatial constraints of cars, so using this argument is a failed attempt at using the enemy's weapons against themselves.
Lol, yeah, rail depots are just such a mystery to figure out. I guess the fact that you can put these anywhere out of the way means the guy has never seen one. As opposed to parking garages that have to be at the destination.
Tell him they fold flat for storage.
They donβt, they keep rolling all day, unlike cars that sit still most of their life.
