you’re getting downvoted because your numbers are drastically off. I posted a comment below, but in the US 33% of school kids are dropped off/picked up by car. Not 5%. That number jumps to 39% if you’re including those driving themselves to school. The average number of kids in school is 512 (in the USA) so that’s ~169 kids getting picked up and dropped off each day. Essentially 169 cars, maybe fewer depending on how many ride together. If the number was 5% (it’s not) then that would only be ~26 cars. Which is still a line, but not a long one.
You made up a small number to pretend like the problem isn’t as bad as it is, and now you’re using a strawman to make it seem like we would still need cars for the made up number you gave. The conversation isn’t about needing cars, it’s about having car lines due to so many cars. If it were actually as small a number as that then no, we wouldn’t have lines like this, because that’s about the rate that developed european countries have for pickup/dropoff car rates. And those people are the ones telling you it’s not a problem in their country.
Yeah… Because I was steel Manning this argument lol, not strawmanning it.
I was saying EVEN IF it were the case that we lived in an enlightened near carless society, there’s going to be some people who arrive via car, and apparently having an organized and safe way to accomodate that is sacreliege here.
Ask yourself if you seriously think I was making the argument that, in America specifically, 95% of the time 95% of people are not using cars to arrive at school.
Then ask yourself, if you thought that was the argument I was making, are you mentally equipped to carry on this conversation.
