whilst I agree with the message, no busses are that narrow
There's some artistic liberties taken but neither are the bike lanes or passenger cars that narrow.
The bike lane doesn't have a car parked in it, also...
You're morally obligated to smash mirrors on cars parked on bike lanes
Well, if we use the car to scale - the bike should be 1 seat wide, the bus stop should be 2 seats wide, and the bus itself should be 5 seats wide
Someone with photoshop skills needs to fix this
It's fine, even in it's current form it still manages to drive in the point
somewhat disingenuously though - my initial take away was that a car took up as much space as a bus and bike combined, and it was only later that I realised it was talking about more efficient or cleaner ways to transport people
The artistic liberties contradict the point it's supposed to make.
Cars aren't that small, and buses aren't that uncomfortable.
There are many cases when a bus can have a really small amount of people, sometimes 1 or 2
Can confirm. After work I'm sometimes the only passenger on the bus.
This is some sci-fi bus where the guy takes off his backpack and no one is blasting Skrillex on a Bluetooth speaker abomination.
~~I think that's depicting a tram, not a bus.~~
Edit wait no I'm wrong it has wheels it's a bus, not a tram nvm. Looked like a tram. Exactly because no buses are that narrow. Oh well. Art.
