    It’s impressive what you can accomplish when the people who oppose it/are in the way don’t matter in the slightest to the people in charge.

    I’d love to see this level of expansion anywhere in the US, done properly and without targeting minorities and the poor like we do too often…

    If I could ride a metro line to work and to the store, I’d be soooooo happy. No more daily driver for me! Except my bikes, of course. I’d be saving all that money for more bicycles.

      You just gave proof that the people who are in the way don’t matter in the US either, as long as it’s about building inner city highways.

      The difference between China and the US is, that the Chinese government does what they deem is necessary and logical, ignoring the people while the US does what the deem is profitable and lucrative ignoring the people.

    This is just a meme, it has very little informational value and it’s misleading on several levels. (OP somebody has been posting it a lot these past days; have a look there for more explanation).

    The implication that things are better in China is… mostly wrong and pointlessly political. I’m restraining myself here.

    If you want to criticize Toronto Public transport do it with facts, not this BS.

      Public transit is in fact better in China. In fact public transit in China is considered some of the best in the world at this point. Pointing out a particular ways in which a communist country is better than most capitalist countries is informationally valuable, and vice versa. That’s called a nuanced understanding of the differences.

      You asserting things can’t be better in China is pointlessly political. Some things are better in China, some things are worse.

      Westerners are so propagandized they’ll literally argue with a map.
