> Maybe single occupancy personal vehicles are wasteful and mass transportation should be invested in rather than shaming individual

no amount of shaming will make me not consider my family's safety. mass transit in CA (eg: https://www.opportunitynowsv.org/blog/nobody-feels-comfortab...) is not safe due to lack of serious policing. my family is prohibited from taking mass transit in usa. It is ok in japan and singapore.



I'd imagine a serious effort to invest in mass transportation would include an investment in safety. Are you suggesting Japan and Singapore are just inherently safer, without having actively done anything to make it that way?

The dirt (ground) of japan and singapore is not magic and does not confer safety, if that is what you are asking. It is a factor of something else

> "my family is prohibited" christ almighty

Yes, I take their safety seriously.
