美國(guó)人為什么如此迷戀汽車？
How America Got Hooked On Cars
譯文簡(jiǎn)介
美國(guó)人開車?yán)锍踢h(yuǎn)超其他國(guó)家，但駕駛的實(shí)際體驗(yàn)遠(yuǎn)不如想象中浪漫：司機(jī)常困于擁堵，汽車排放污染，缺乏步行導(dǎo)致缺乏鍛煉等。首先承認(rèn)汽車很棒，但它們的盛行離不開政策傾斜和強(qiáng)大游說團(tuán)體的推動(dòng)。CNBC采訪了相關(guān)研究人員并分析數(shù)據(jù)，試圖全面解讀美國(guó)人為何對(duì)汽車如此依賴。
正文翻譯
美國(guó)汽車依賴現(xiàn)象根植于百年政策扶持與利益集團(tuán)推動(dòng)，其本質(zhì)是系統(tǒng)性偏袒而非單純的文化偏好。20世紀(jì)初，汽車?yán)婕瘓F(tuán)通過郊區(qū)化政策、強(qiáng)制停車規(guī)定及寬松交通法規(guī)，逐步瓦解了以公交和步行為核心的城市結(jié)構(gòu)，并通過1956年《聯(lián)邦公路法案》將公路網(wǎng)絡(luò)擴(kuò)張合法化。如今，70%的美國(guó)人自駕上班，僅3.5%使用公共交通，但汽車享有全方位補(bǔ)貼：法律強(qiáng)制建筑附帶車位、財(cái)政每年投入數(shù)千億美元維護(hù)公路，而行人死亡率、擁堵成本及城市宜居性下降等社會(huì)代價(jià)日益凸顯。近年改革嘗試如擁堵收費(fèi)、電動(dòng)自行車推廣及步行友好城市建設(shè)雖引發(fā)爭(zhēng)議，卻為多元化出行提供了可能。然而，中產(chǎn)階級(jí)仍困于高房?jī)r(jià)與通勤壓力，郊區(qū)化慣性未消，系統(tǒng)性矛盾依然存在。

An American drives a Ford F150 10 miles to get a $7 burger and 10 miles back. If that's not insane I don't know what is.
一個(gè)美國(guó)人開著福特F150皮卡，來回20英里就為了買一個(gè)7美元的漢堡——如果這都不算瘋狂，我真不知道什么才算。
Americans have this weird notion that having transportation options is socialism and having only one option (cars) is freedom.
美國(guó)人總有一種奇怪的觀念：擁有多種交通選擇是社會(huì)主義，而只能開車才叫自由。
Imagine reading a book or watching a show on your 30 min commute instead of just driving everyday! There is so many upsides to public transit.
想象一下，每天通勤的30分鐘里你本可以看書或追劇，而不是只能握著方向盤！公共交通的好處明明那么多。
A lot of people think the only thing urbanists stand for is a world where cars are banned. Not true! What urbanists stand for is a world where cars aren't the only means of transportation. It's actually about an increase in freedom. The ability to walk, bike, take a bus, take a train, drive, or fly should all be equally valid ways to reach a destination based on the specificities of the trip. But currently, the overreliance on driving makes the first four completely unfeasible in a majority of American cities for a majority of trips.
很多人以為城市規(guī)劃者只想徹底禁車，其實(shí)大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)！我們追求的是打破汽車壟斷，步行、騎行、公交、火車、自駕或飛機(jī)，應(yīng)根據(jù)不同需求成為平等的出行選項(xiàng)。但如今過度依賴汽車，讓前四種方式在美國(guó)大多數(shù)城市中幾乎無法實(shí)現(xiàn)。
I moved to Japan a few years ago and the quality of life difference due to public transportation alone is insane. Americans genuinely do not know what they’re missing out on so I don’t blame them for their ignorance.
幾年前我搬到日本，單憑公共交通帶來的生活質(zhì)量提升就足夠震撼。美國(guó)人根本不知道自己錯(cuò)過了什么，但我不怪他們無知。
Driving is only freedom if you have the right to choose not to if you don't want to. If car dependency is mandated by law, you aren't free. You're being forced to drive whether you like it or not.
只有當(dāng)你擁有“不開車”的選擇權(quán)時(shí)，開車才叫自由。如果法律強(qiáng)制要求依賴汽車，你就沒有自由。本質(zhì)上是被逼著開車，無論你愿不愿意。
The more you learn about American history and understand the system the more you realise this country was made for profit making, exploitation, not for orderly people to live and thrive. This country was made for the rich by the rich to the rich...
越了解美國(guó)歷史和體制，就越明白這個(gè)國(guó)家是為榨取利益而生的，而非讓普通人安居樂業(yè)。它是富人設(shè)計(jì)、富人掌控、只為富人服務(wù)的機(jī)器。
Moved from the Bay Area to Chicago and absolutely love not having a car. I love driving and my cars, but traffic is absolutely soul draining. A lot of people driving really shouldn’t be driving too.
從灣區(qū)搬到芝加哥后，我終于體會(huì)到無車生活的快樂。雖然我愛開車，但堵車真的會(huì)吸干靈魂——何況路上不少司機(jī)壓根不該握方向盤。
Europe is the perfect example of how you can have walkable cities, public transport AND cars and still drive if you want to. All modes of transport have their strengths and weaknesses. That's why there are multiple systems, to each compliment the other and help in an area where one might fall short.
歐洲完美示范了如何兼容步行友好、公交發(fā)達(dá)與自駕自由。各種交通方式各有優(yōu)劣，因此需要多元系統(tǒng)互補(bǔ)，火車到不了的地方，自行車能接上；公交不便時(shí)，開車也能救急。
Imagine riding a train for 2hrs from LA to Vegas rather than driving for 4 hours straight hoping your car won’t break down in the middle of Death Valley
想象一下：從洛杉磯坐2小時(shí)火車直達(dá)拉斯維加斯，而不是在死亡谷里提心吊膽開4小時(shí)，祈禱車子別半路拋錨。
Freedom isn't having to rely on having a car and have no other methods of going to work. Freedom is having a choice of transportation.
自由不是被迫依賴汽車且別無選擇，而是能按需選擇交通方式。
I am from Vietnam and when I come to the US, it's crazy to think to drive 65mph for 15 minutes just to buy groceries and necessities. It's just not walkable here and everything so far apart.
作為越南人，剛到美國(guó)時(shí)我驚呆了：買點(diǎn)雜貨居然要飆車15分鐘、時(shí)速65英里？這里根本不適合步行，所有東西都隔得老遠(yuǎn)。
Cars have gotten heavier just like we Americans have. Obese cars for an obese people.
汽車越來越臃腫，就像我們美國(guó)人一樣——胖子開胖車，絕配。
Those who love driving should promote walkable cities and public transportation because it makes driving fun again!
真正愛開車的人更該支持步行友好城市和公交系統(tǒng)，路上車少了，駕駛樂趣才能回來?。?
The other issue is that people often get priced out of city life. So not having access to public transit leads to buying/leasing cars.
另一個(gè)問題是，許多人被高房?jī)r(jià)擠出城市。沒有便捷的公交，他們只能被迫買車或租車。
We love taking the Amtrak train; less stress, no parking issues, and no traffic jams or road rage!
我們?nèi)叶紣圩黎F：沒堵車路怒，不用找車位，全程輕松得像度假。
But ... but ... it's FREEDOM. Freedom to be forced to drive due to the lack of good local public transportation networks and passenger rail networks. If they exist at all they're not good enough to be a good alternative to driving for most people. For me freedom is having the choice if I want to drive or not. The freedom not to have to drive, not depending on having a car. Using public transport sometimes or on a regular basis does NOT mean that you can't have and use a car as well. Most people here have / use both
“但……但這是自由?。 边@種“自由”就是被迫開車，因?yàn)楸镜毓缓丸F路太爛。即使有，對(duì)多數(shù)人來說也不夠用。真正的自由應(yīng)是能選開不開車，不必依賴汽車。偶爾坐公交不等于放棄開車，大多數(shù)人明明可以兩者兼得。
I live in East Tennessee. I have nearly my entire life. I don’t like driving. It’s an inconvenient necessity. I work from home, but when I do need to go out I don’t even have a sidewalk or a bike lane. There is no public transit within walking distance. It’s a massive problem.
我在東田納西州住了一輩子。我討厭開車但不得不開，居家辦公還好，可一旦要出門，連人行道和自行車道都沒有，步行范圍內(nèi)更沒公交。這問題太嚴(yán)重了。
A super easy way to tell that car-dependency is not the "free market" is the existence of "parking minimums". Parking minimums are city laws which force businesses, offices, and homes to build a certain number of parking spaces for something like every 100 sq ft or one bedroom. If the free market desired more car parking, there wouldn't need to be laws which mandate them. Same thing with suburban sprawl. Cities have development laws that ban every type of development pattern except suburban sprawl. It's not the people's preferences, necessarily, it's the law. It's way past time to get rid of these laws and let people choose the way they wish to live.
判斷“汽車依賴”是否源于“自由市場(chǎng)”很簡(jiǎn)單：看看“最低停車位標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”這種法規(guī)就知道了。政府強(qiáng)制商家、辦公樓和住宅按面積配建車位。若真是市場(chǎng)需要，何必立法強(qiáng)推？郊區(qū)擴(kuò)張也一樣，法規(guī)禁止其他開發(fā)模式。這不是民眾的選擇，而是法律的枷鎖。早該廢除這些規(guī)定，讓人們自由選擇生活方式。
It keeps people atomized, away from their community. It also keeps us sick and unhealthy. Cars are great for camping, but having to rely on them daily is the worst. I want to take a metro to work, and drive to the mountains on the weekends, but most cities here aren’t multimodal.
汽車把人與人割裂，讓人遠(yuǎn)離社區(qū)，還損害健康。周末開車露營(yíng)很棒，但日常依賴汽車簡(jiǎn)直災(zāi)難！我想坐地鐵通勤、周末自駕進(jìn)山，但多數(shù)美國(guó)城市根本不支持這種多模式出行。
It’s time for America to invest heavily in rail and high speed rail.
美國(guó)是時(shí)候砸錢修鐵路，尤其是高鐵了！
Honestly, after living abroad for two years in an area with incredibly efficient, safe, affordable public transportation, I’ve been making an escape plan to leave the US again. People in the US scream freedom!!!!!! But there is nothing more free than not having a car payment and getting where I need to go by foot/public transit. I could even get to small seaside villages for $2.00 on the bus. Freedom is a joke in America because we all are forced into debt just like being forced to get a car loan, insurance, maintenance, gas, etc just to literally survive here. $12,000 a year of car ownership is 1/3 to 1/2 of many people's entire paychecks. It's all so rigged in favor of big banks and corporations here in the US with no thought to the best policies for its citizens.
在國(guó)外體驗(yàn)了兩年高效安全又便宜的公交后，我正計(jì)劃再次逃離美國(guó)。美國(guó)人整天吼“自由”，但真正的自由是不背車貸、靠雙腳和公交到達(dá)目的地——我曾花2美元坐公交去海邊小村。在美國(guó)，“自由”就是個(gè)笑話：為了生存，你被迫貸款買車、買保險(xiǎn)、保養(yǎng)、加油……每年養(yǎng)車花1.2萬美元，抵得上普通人1/3到一半的收入。這一切都是為大銀行和財(cái)團(tuán)設(shè)計(jì)的，哪管百姓死活。
"Policies favoring cars" aka "Immense lobbying dollars buying politicians" aka corruption
所謂“親汽車政策”，本質(zhì)是“砸錢游說政客”，也就是腐敗。
Shoutout to CNBC for giving so much attention to this topic in the last 5 years
感謝CNBC這五年持續(xù)關(guān)注這個(gè)話題！
I feel like there are forces in the United States that are making sure that the public is constantly spending their money on some kind of expenses like driving a car and living in a house that won't last a lifetime. Right now, the public is constantly being encouraged to sign up for all kinds of subscxtions. They are selling all kinds of products that you can't use until you connect them to some kind of online subscxtion service.
我感覺美國(guó)有股勢(shì)力在逼民眾不斷花錢，養(yǎng)車、住短命房子，現(xiàn)在又狂推訂閱制，賣各種必須聯(lián)網(wǎng)訂閱才能用的產(chǎn)品。
I live in Miami, and I’m in the downtown Brickell area. It’s very refreshing that I don’t have to use my car as often. I can walk most places, take the train and metro to different neighborhoods and cities, and lastly I have a scooter that takes me everywhere I need to go! That’s what I call freedom, not having to depend on my car everywhere I go!
我住在邁阿密Brickell市中心，很少需要用車，步行能到多數(shù)地方，坐火車或地鐵去其他街區(qū)，還有電動(dòng)滑板車解決最后一公里。這才叫自由，而不是走哪都得靠汽車！

I actually just ordered an E bike last night because I had a realization that the small town that I live in is about 2 miles long by 2 miles wide. Why should I use a car to get around in the town? Of course, the closest big town is still 30 miles away, so it's not totally replacing a car, but it's something!
昨晚我剛下單電動(dòng)自行車，因?yàn)槲彝蝗灰庾R(shí)到：我住的小鎮(zhèn)才兩英里見方，干嘛非要開車？當(dāng)然，最近的大鎮(zhèn)在30英里外，暫時(shí)還不能完全棄車，但總算邁出一步！

US cars are getting bigger and bigger as well, that's why the average car accident is more likely to result in pedestrian fatalities
美國(guó)車越造越大，難怪車禍中行人死亡率越來越高。
A really simple advantage of public transport, particularly for longer journeys, is that you're not stuck behind the wheel of your car and you can do something else with your time. So even if it takes 50% longer...you can still save time.
公共交通有個(gè)超簡(jiǎn)單的優(yōu)勢(shì)，尤其是長(zhǎng)途出行時(shí)，你不用被困在方向盤前，還能利用時(shí)間做別的事。所以即使耗時(shí)多50%，實(shí)際反而更省時(shí)間。
I live in Shanghai, China as an American from Arizona, and it's wild how much better Chinese transportation and logistics infrastructure is than ours.

Here in Indiana, the legislature banned Indianapolis from building rail of any form. This blatant car preference is really sinister

Changing this will take forever
這種局面想要改變簡(jiǎn)直遙遙無期
The only reason walkable cities are more expensive is that there is a severe lack of supply, and it is not evenly distributed. So the only people that can afford walkable cities are higher income people that can and want to move to these few walkable areas
所謂"宜居城市更貴"完全是供需失衡的惡果。當(dāng)優(yōu)質(zhì)地段極度稀缺且分配嚴(yán)重不均時(shí)，只有高收入人群才買得起這種稀缺資源
So many people seem to think that countries like Japan and the Netherlands (known for their walkability and quality transportation) are 'anti-car' but that's so not true, in fact they're some of the best countries to drive in! The smaller, better designed roads and less traffic allow drivers to drive more comfortably and safely, plus since there are so many alternatives to driving, drivers will never find themselves sitting in traffic. It's this ridiculous brainwashing that 'bigger roads = better driving'
很多人誤以為日本荷蘭這樣的步行友好型國(guó)家是"反汽車社會(huì)"，這完全錯(cuò)誤。這些國(guó)家反而是最適合開車的地方！緊湊合理的道路規(guī)劃和更少擁堵讓駕駛體驗(yàn)舒適安全，再加上充足的替代出行方式，司機(jī)根本不需要被困在車流里。所謂"大路才好開"完全是汽車工業(yè)的洗腦謊言
I am so happy to live in a city in Europe, where a supermarket, a bakery, a restaurant...is around the corner and I can reach them easily by feet

There are several YT channels that upload colorized videos from the 20s through the 40s & 50s. In almost all of these videos you'll see public transitbuses, trolleys & trains. Car culture was & largely remains the result of policy

One of the main reasons why residential units in Manhattan are so costly is that its near public transit. So unless you can cough up so much money for rent or to buy, you are just going to end up living further away as the price becomes affordable to you. No, units and homes in outer boroughs aren't cheap or affordable either but is still much less than Manhattan. Public transit in these areas can be sparse and sometimes, untimely and have long commute time. People are going to end up with cars as public transit options aren't conducive to everyday life. Until Manhattan real estate prices go down, this problem would only expand. And there's no way prices will go down to an affordable level. It's FAR too late
曼哈頓住宅天價(jià)的主因是靠近公共交通。除非你能掏出巨額租金或購房款，否則只能住到更遠(yuǎn)的地方?？赏獬菂^(qū)的房子也不便宜，通勤時(shí)間更長(zhǎng)且公交系統(tǒng)稀疏。在現(xiàn)有條件下，人們被迫買車出行。等曼哈頓房?jī)r(jià)跌到可承受水平？門都沒有，這問題只會(huì)越來越嚴(yán)重

Driving is usually the slowest door to door transport option in London. Traffic is slow and parking hard to find. Can not compete with Bus/Tube/Trains or bikes for time. Still has the advantage of isolation but can also be stressful. Most everyone has a car in my area but almost no one would drive to work and our local shops are 2 minutes walk from home. It's only for lager shopping trips or weekends out of London cars are used for. I use mine 3 or 4 times a month. The poorer you are, the more likely you will need to use a car more as you will be priced out of areas with good public transport.

I had a job 10 years ago here in Utah. To get to the job I would walk to the nearby bus stop and wait. The bus came every half hour so I would need to arrive 2-3 minutes early to make sure I was there on time. It took about 5 minutes to walk to. Then it would drive me south to the transit center for 15 minutes where I would wait another 10-15 minutes for the bus to transfer to. That bus would pick me up and drive 20 minutes west where I would get out and walk another 15 minutes to my job.
Or, I could drive there in 18 minutes.

I live in NYC, I have never owned a car (I saved tons of money and time), I ride a Citi bike everywhere and occasionally ride the subway or bus. If I ever move somewhere else in the United States I will specifically look into places with reliable public transit and separated bike lines. I lived car-free in LA for two years. It was challenging but possible. If I was able to do it in LA I definitely can live car free in Phila, Chicago, Boston, SF, maybe Seattle and Minneapolis.

This answers my question on why the US doesnt have high speed trains that could connect Chicago to NY which would hypothetically get you there in 30mins to 1hr. Imagine the economic impact that would make. Jobs would be more competitive. States would have to compete for workers and to attract talent in their state. People wont feel stuck in a state. Movement would be easier People would vacation more booming the economy and I can keep going. But this is an example of American politics. Lobbying. This is why you don't trust a politician

I live in a sunbelt state in a city of about 80k. Im also a Strong Towns member (look it up). There is no way we can or will do away with cars, nor should we have to. But we cannot allow cars to 100% dominate the landscape. My surroundings are almost entirely single family subdivisions and driving is how we conduct most of our daily travels. However, within 1 mile of my house (about 5 mins on a bike) there are multiple strip malls with restaurants, grocery, a water park, schools, and many other amenities. This area could and should function as a village center and should be pleasant and inviting for people to walk or bike to. Instead, the design makes no effort to be anything other than highways, parking lots and strip malls. This is bad planning that has a negative effect on quality of life. The incremental cost of these areas being connected with bike paths and pedestrian friendly modifications is very small compared to what could be gained in value, economic activity, and again quality of life if we had options! Instead, everyone drives. Biking and walking is something you pay thousands of dollars to do on vacation!
我住在陽光地帶的一個(gè)8萬人口小城，是Strong Towns成員。我們無法也不該擺脫汽車，但不能讓汽車完全主導(dǎo)景觀。我家周圍幾乎全是獨(dú)棟住宅區(qū)，日常出行主要靠開車。但在離家步行5分鐘（騎行1公里）范圍內(nèi)，有多個(gè)商業(yè)綜合體，包含餐廳、超市、水上樂園、學(xué)校等設(shè)施。這些區(qū)域本應(yīng)成為步行友好型社區(qū)中心，但目前設(shè)計(jì)成了高速公路、停車場(chǎng)和商業(yè)街的組合。這種規(guī)劃嚴(yán)重降低了生活質(zhì)量。將這里改造為步行/騎行友好區(qū)域的邊際成本極低，相比提升的價(jià)值、經(jīng)濟(jì)活力和生活質(zhì)量改善微不足道?？晌覀円廊槐黄乳_車，騎行散步成了只有在度假時(shí)才消費(fèi)得起的活動(dòng)
Oh, and if you want to get people out of their cars, then you must GIVE THEM OPTIONS! Unless one lives in a big city like NYC, Chicago, or San Francisco, public transit is poor to non-existent. For example, in my area, the bus that runs nearby doesn't run much past 7 at night, and it doesn't run at all on Sundays. Before the route and schedule changes, I could and did use it for events downtown; in fact, I had a 10 trip ticket in my wallet for that purpose. Now? I tossed the 10 trip ticket, as the bus is no longer an option for me.
若想讓人們少開車，就必須提供替代方案！除非住在紐約、芝加哥、舊金山這樣的大城市，否則公共交通普遍差勁。以我所在地區(qū)為例，附近公交晚上7點(diǎn)后停運(yùn)，周日完全無車。以前路線和班次調(diào)整前，我確實(shí)會(huì)乘公交參加市區(qū)活動(dòng)，甚至還留著10次票?，F(xiàn)在？我扔掉了車票，公交已非可行選項(xiàng)

This report is so ignorant. Cars is a resemblance of freedom. It's not because we "love" cars. Part of the reason is distance between work and home has drastically increased. None is "hooked" on cars. CNBC. Go figure.

I live in a city with comprehensive public transportation in Asia, have freedom to choose to go anywhere by car, taxi, bus, mimibus, rail, metro, ferry, cycling and on foot. I spend on average USD$600-1200 on transportation annually. Really wander why no one take pubic transportation in north america.
我住在亞洲某個(gè)公共交通發(fā)達(dá)的城市，可以選擇開車/打車/公交/小巴/火車/地鐵/渡輪/騎行出行。年均交通費(fèi)約600-1200美元。真不明白北美人為何不用公共交通
You got to think that this is the greatest conspiracy in US history - more roads means more cars, means more gas used, more bucks for the oil companies. No incentive for State and federal Govts to build better public transportation or make cities more liveable without dependency on the automobile.
這得是美國(guó)史上最大陰謀：修更多路→更多車→更多汽油消耗→石油公司賺翻。政府和聯(lián)邦沒有動(dòng)力改善公交或建設(shè)無車友好城市
Its interesting reading the comments on these videos because there's always a population of people that get offended by the video and think its a personal attack if they perfer driving. For the most part we can agree that driving is the predominant mode of transportation in the USA. There are a certain population that can't drive, own a car or want to reduce the miles they drive. Just having that option is what people desire. If you want to drive you can drive. That isnt going anywhere especially in the USA.
有趣的是看這些視頻的評(píng)論，總有人因?yàn)橐曨l批評(píng)開車而覺得被冒犯。但說實(shí)話，美國(guó)確實(shí)以汽車為主要交通方式。有些人確實(shí)無法/不想開車，但關(guān)鍵是人們想要有選擇權(quán)。想開車的人當(dāng)然可以開，這在北美尤其行不通

Many factors come into play when deciding whether or not to own a car. If living in a dense city, there might be more cons to owning a car than pros. I live in Utah, so its more spaced out to get your necessities. Like groceries or to work. But its nice to have that freedom to drive to a campground, hiking trail, or fishing spot about an hour away for the weekend.
是否買車要考慮很多因素。住在密集城市養(yǎng)車弊大于利。我住在猶他州，這里地廣人稀，買必需品需要開車。但至少能自由駕車去露營(yíng)地、徒步路線或釣魚點(diǎn)度周末挺美好
In Texas cars are the only option. We do not have mass transportation options. If we had more public transportation or high speed rail I would use it.

The most important reason cars are king summed up in one word - Freedom. I can go where I want, when I want. Try carrying home a weeks groceries on the bus - I usually fill my trunk. I can stop on the way home and do errands conveniently. There are so many pluses that the minuses just don't count. Check out LA - they have spent billions on public transit, and it is vastly underused - the only people that use it are mainly those who can't afford a car.

I don't mind suburbs or cars. What I mind is that I can't live anywhere except the suburbs and I can't get anywhere except using a car. We should have the freedom to choose where to live and how we want to travel. You may not like living in the city, fine. But other people do. Walkable neighbourhoods are in demand. And people shouldn't have to sell an arm or a leg just to live in one.
我不介意郊區(qū)或汽車。問題是除了郊區(qū)無處可住，除了開車無處可去。我們應(yīng)該有選擇居住地和出行方式的自由。不喜歡住城里沒關(guān)系，但其他人想要。步行友好社區(qū)有需求，不該讓普通人傾家蕩產(chǎn)才能住進(jìn)去
Refreshing video from CNBC. Improving transit would be a boost to the local economy. A lot of good takes!

If you truly want to solve the problem, make it into a law that allows people work from home instead of letting the banks and commercial real estate force the people to waste their time to all commute to the same place at the same time

I wished that If we invested into trains more than cars I would be able to invest in establishing over 1,000 Class 1 Mainline Railroads so that Canadian Pacific can merge with a different railway instead of Kansas City Southern.

For anyone who wants to learn more about the high price we pay for automobile dependency, I highly recommend Citynerd, City Beautiful, and Not Just BIkes, on Youtube. There are so many reasons we should be making our cities more bikable and encouraging more people to use public transit. Congestion pricing, like they recently enacted in New York City, is a start, but we should also do zoning reform to allow for higher density, mixed use, walkable neighborhoods.
想深入了解汽車依賴的高昂代價(jià)，我強(qiáng)烈推薦YouTube上的Citynerd、City Beautiful和Not Just Bikes頻道。我們有很多理由讓城市更適合騎行、鼓勵(lì)更多人使用公交。擁堵收費(fèi)（如紐約最近實(shí)施的）是個(gè)開始，但還應(yīng)進(jìn)行分區(qū)改革，允許更高密度、混合用途和步行友好社區(qū)
Growing up in America you basically dont get to participate in society until youre 16 and thats if your parents can afford extra cars. Its pretty ridiculous quite frankly. Parents are quick to ridicule their kids for spending too much time inside but they cant really go anywhere on their own.
在美國(guó)長(zhǎng)大，基本要到16歲才能參與社會(huì)活動(dòng)，前提是父母能負(fù)擔(dān)額外車輛。這太荒謬了。父母總嘲笑孩子宅在家，但他們自己卻無處可去
Yes more of this! We need to spread the word and help others understand that making cities more walkable and increasing mass transit capabilities are a net positive for everyone, including us car drivers.
沒錯(cuò)！我們需要傳播理念，讓更多人明白建設(shè)步行友好城市和提升公交能力對(duì)所有人都是凈收益，包括我們開車的人

You cannot fix the transportation issue in America without also tackling housing....it goes hand in hand

I've never been mugged by a fellow passenger in my own car. No one has ever shot heroin or overdosed in my car. Homeless people have never peed on the floor of my car while I'm driving to work. Etc. I love taking public transport in Asia, where it's clean and safe. Every time I have to use it in America, I regret it. It's an awful experience. Maybe fix that before chastising people for wanting to avoid it.
我開車從沒被同乘者搶劫，沒人在我車上吸毒過量，流浪漢也沒在我上班路上尿過車座。我愛亞洲的干凈安全公交，但在美國(guó)用一次都后悔，真是糟糕體驗(yàn)。與其責(zé)怪人們想避免，不如先改善公交
I'm so glad I made the decision to move into the city and now rarely ever have to use my car. The freedom of being able to get to everything I want without being a slave to my automobile is priceless.

Europe is very condensed and most countires in there are very small hance why it's much easier to make public trans and everything is much closer. US is huge compared to European countries and everything is more spread out. Walking friendly cities will still take you forever to get somewhere because again everything is more spread out. What we really need is high speed rail infrastructure the likes of Japan, but because of so many people have ownership of the land and don't want to give it up makes this project very challenging because lots of rail lines would have to go through private lands etc...including other reasons
歐洲國(guó)家密集且面積小，所以公共交通易建且設(shè)施近。美國(guó)幅員遼闊，什么都分散。步行友好城市仍需長(zhǎng)途跋涉。我們真正需要的是日本式高鐵網(wǎng)絡(luò)，但因土地私有制導(dǎo)致項(xiàng)目艱難——許多鐵路線需穿過私人土地，其他原因也很多

To be fair, America is huge; this country is the larger than many European countries combined. Many neighborhoods are relatively far away from work places (unless its a huge city or a small town). Having to travel a distance thatd take 30 minutes by car is saving more time than other such modes of transportation. We also have really weird weather; we can experience extreme heats and deadly colds. In short, there are a lot of reasons we drive a lot and given that the price of gas is unstable, just driving for fun isnt the only reason we do it.
說句公道話，美國(guó)太大了，面積超過許多歐洲國(guó)家總和。很多社區(qū)離工作地較遠(yuǎn)（除非在大城市或小鎮(zhèn)）。開車30分鐘的路程比其他交通方式省時(shí)。我們還有奇葩天氣：極端高溫和嚴(yán)寒?？傊?，多種原因?qū)е挛覀兌嚅_車，油價(jià)不穩(wěn)也使得開車不只是為了玩樂
I am a car enthusiast but I think America only likes designing cities for cars, not people.
