r/fuckcars / Not Just Bikes / Urbanists / New Urbanism / Car-Free / Anti-Car - People and grifters who hate personal transport, freedom, cars, roads, suburbs, and are obsessed with city planning and urban design

that's London for you - the local authorities actively make it as difficult and expensive as possible for anyone to use a motor vehicle for any purpose, whether personal or business
for this reason, if you run a shop and rely on a third-party logistics firm for deliveries, this quickly becomes very expensive, and if you're a tradesman, transport alone is a big business expense; the only way you can operate a viable business in the long run in London is to be a big national or multi-national corporation

This is especially stupid because these are the same people trying to incentivize public transit usage while severing what would have been a very critical artery for bus routes into Hammersmith. Like, it's not SOLELY private vehicles crossing that bridge. I can understand saying "fuck it, it's too old and expensive to repair", but without a plan to replace that bridge and essentially cutting off a neighbourhood from any kind of vehicular traffic the decision is incompetent at best and actively malicious at worst.

Autists get mad that you don't make fetch happen by making it suck for people with money from suburbs to come patronize a business.

You put this so clearly it's great. I'll be using this in the future. Thank you.

It's not only that they're targetting suburbanites, it's also because they're so permissive on criminality and anti-social behavior that they also make it impossible for people with money to live downtown.

Then they look at completely dead downtowns and say "Drumph did this."

I've said it a few times in this thread already, that is one of the biggest barriers to transit ridership, cycling, and walking. Nobody wants to breath in second hand meth smoke on the bus, come out of work or the shops and find another bike gone, or get accosted/followed by homeless. It's very interesting to see how so many urbanists are also so permissive towards public disorder when it's one of the biggest obstacles to a more livable urban environment. Of course a lot of urbanists online are just virtue signalers championing greenwashing projects that look good on Instagram but do nothing for the day to day livability of their communities. I would wager a good number of them are spoiled kids from the suburbs or antisocial, terminally online who only open their apartment door to collect their Doordash and Amazon deliveries.

Growing up the idea of anyone smoking drugs of any kind on the bus, even a shitty joint, was unthinkable. Shit that only happened in Detroit.

Now it's a regular occurrence but the top minds of my local Reddit assure me year over year crime stats are trending downwards on transit, and thinking it's unsafe is just being a pearl clutching suburbanite.

/r/fuckcars is mad that foreigners from transit-dependent countries love the car-dependent US:


What happened to "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation"?:


The most popular cities according to my Twitter feed were Dallas and Houston , a.k.a. the capitals of sprawl (biased because there are a lot of Japanese people on Twitter and they had games in those cities):


#3 was Kansas City, which is where the Dutch played. Haven't heard anything from foreigners about how great Seattle or San Jose (no games in SF) are. Heard a little bit about Atlanta and Los Angeles (mainly about the giant TVs in the stadiums). Apparently the Scotts complained that Boston didn't have enough beer.

It's propaganda!:

"WTF I hate trains now" - /r/fuckcars:

Doesn't that also indicate that while he was President, Biden never rode any trains? I mean, there was that time where some autist caught Biden on the train (and Biden looked back at him, not in a "hello, how are you doing" way but "what the fuck are you looking at" way), but that was AFTER he left the Oval Office.

They LOVE parroting this line and it drives me nuts. Not just in regards to crime on transit but crime in general. Anyone with functioning eyes knows crime is up, but if the police don't arrest and the courts don't prosecute the stats won't reflect it.

Rest assured though, that if you or I stepped off a restaurant patio with a beer we'd get a ticket.

 

[Beautiful Border]

That's not pedestrianised imo, there are still pavements (sidewalks) and crossings. That is just a street that's closed to car traffic. If you look at a street view from august 2025 they actually resurfaced the road looks like last minute they decided just to slap down a few shitty planters to block cars, it is a university campus so they probably were hounded by fuckbike tier uni wankers into doing so.

Gordon Square isn't part of a university campus, although I can understand why you might think this. There are a lot of buildings for higher education in the area and nearby (UCL and UoL), but none of them 'own' the street so to speak.

Junkies and bums treat public transit where I live like it’s their own comfy personal trap house. One afternoon I got a free meth/crack high that I did not want after taking public transit. A crackhead was smoking out of their lil crack pipe at the back of the bus. Disgusting. This never used to be a thing here until the last 3-5 years.

 

[Spooky Space Kook]

Someone filmed a crackhead smoking crack on a bus and posted it on my areas community Facebook group and the liberal urbanist response was complaining that they filmed the crackhead with out his permission and telling the guy to kindly ask the crackhead to not smoke or to ignore it or get on a different bus. These people are literally advocating for societal decline and degeneracy at this point and it's not even subtle now.

The meme is supposed to say that cars should have reflective vests, not people.



Reflective vests (and helmets) are only needed because of bad urban planning:

I enjoy when the local "bicyclists" are riding at night on a narrow road with no street lights, black clothing and no reflectors on their stolen bikes, usually going the wrong way. Good times.

I'm gonna have to side with the anti-car retards on this one, shitty MSpaint drawings have a charm to them which while clearly inferior to real authentic Crayola markers does still have a semblance of a soul to it, I couldn't even tell the the AI image was AI and not just just actual stock photos(which again have a charm in their limitation).

I miss when shitty concepts were as poorly drawn as they were conceived.

How can anyone promote public drug use as a positive thing with a straight face. Apparently fent is perfectly safe, but also so dangerous we want them to do it in public so they can get help quickly in case they OD. Narcan is a mistake, we either need to ban it or have ghost pepper juice mixed in to make them wish they died when it gets sprayed up their nose.

 

[S.C.U.D.]

Joe_Jeep doing the typical urbanist method of just blatantly lying. I live near a ton of black people and even then I almost never see someone driving around with one headlight out, and I've never seen someone driving around with both out. I've never seen a "modified" headlight besides older cars with white LED replacements (which are way brighter than incans). The worst you'll get here is people forgetting to turn their lights on when it's raining (but still not very dark), and I bet you the same percentage of cyclists with lights on their bikes do the same thing.

These guys will really just say whatever to further their narrative.
