Tax dollar usage is the main excuse why people in my state have been protesting the rail. I guess sitting in traffic for 2 hours to and from work is preferred.
Yeah. A common argument against bike lanes in my city is that “nobody bikes”, and people don’t understand that nobody bikes because we have to bike alongside their murder boxes.
Also, bikes generally don’t take up a lot of space. A bike lane can be cooking in passenger-miles/hr and look pretty empty compared to urban gridlock in the car lanes.

A very apt analogy you can reply with is this.
Nobody swims across this river to the other side. Therefore we should NOT throw away money by building a bridge. Because there is no demand.
Many people don’t even understand that life without car is not only possible but it is of far superior quality.
But hey at least they got their Kuck bro funded politics keeping them satisfied
