so my girlfriend lives in a different city, far enough away that my local transit network can’t get me there and i have to take amtrak. i really enjoy taking amtrak.
when she comes here, she drives. and it turns out that really stresses her out. so what we’ve taken to doing is, when we’re together, i will take on a chunk of the driving.
because i drive almost never otherwise, it’s kinda fun for me. and it gives her a much-needed break. but man, would i ever be happy to not have that even be a problem and just have good urban design with trains and local transit to get around quickly and efficiently, so we wouldn’t have to do that in the first place.
