Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

A car that is shared between at least ten other people on the road that day is bad.

That’s… insane logic. It’s still a car running all day. It’s the exact same as ten other people driving their own cars for a half hour each, one after another. Worse, actually, because there’s extra trips to pick up people in between the actual transportation parts.

(Caveat: unless it’s an electric car. I’m going to assume at least 8/10 of the drivers in this scenario are driving standard ICE, rather than hybrid or full electric at this point.)

How is it "insane" logic? A car share has lower environmental impact over individual car ownership. Does it suck compared to alternatives? Sure. But it's not the same as ten individuals riding their cars, since

it can be used by more than one passenger at the same time
an individual car will still need to drive to pick up a passenger (think parents picking up their kids or spouses and back again)
they take up city subsidized real estate to park their cars (if not, because they are in a suburban sprawl drive way, that's its own problem already)

Either way, I was bringing it up as an example: Costco can also be accessed by public transit, but it's not "accessible". It takes an hour to get there, including ~15 minutes of walking along an area that has a sliver of a sidewalk. Compared to 17 minute by car (traffic not withstanding) or 23 minutes of biking. I do this ride/transit there and Uber back again maybe twice a year, but I wish I didn't have to.
