Calvin (from Calvin & Hobbes) sitting at a lemonade stand, smiling, with a sign that reads, “Trains and micromobility are inevitably the future of urban transportation, whether society wants it or not. CHANGE MY MIND.”

    Said a person who has never been on a train in London during peak.

        I would disagree. But then again, I prefer cycling or WFH so… Fuck both trains and cars at peak!

        Yeah, that’s definitely an issue in the US.

            You know what’s interesting? I’ve never paid more than £150 for a ticket to fly anywhere in Europe. Paying thousands sounds completely bonkers to me. I bet I can fly from London to the US cheaper than $1000.

                There are several Portlands in the US, so I’m not sure which one you’re talking about, but I guess if it’s the one on the West Coast, then it’s about the same distance as from London to Tenerife. That would cost me £68 one way booked two weeks in advance. I remember flying from Frankfurt to Tenerife for free. Yes, free. But that was a long time ago, hard to find deals like that these days… But man, $800, what the fuck?
