Can the US populace sustain paying $100 for an oil change, financially speaking?

Why does this image make amerimutts seethe so much and whine about communism?
A walkable city is not a leftist-exclusive thought.

Can you even use public transportation in Venezuela? I thought the place was full of niggers and having a car was the only way to avoid it

New York City is the second times first largest travel destination on the globe it’s also the most expensive place to live in America constantly competing with San Francisco, everyone uses the transport, the only country I heads with actual good public transportation is Japan.

Where in the US does it cost $100 for an oil change? Commiefornia?

>>52458194

There's public transport, but only poor people who can't afford cars use it.

ironic, you can't afford a good car, but here you are shitting on still poorer people.

Why do cars and with them the ability to travel several miles or even thousands of miles confuse and scare the Eurocuck? Is it because your countries are the size of US states?

PS Walkable cities are fine but who would want to be confined to only the area they can travel on foot or bike? That sounds gay af

density is less of an issue if you have fewer niggers

If you're paying 100$ for an oil change you either live in a big shitty and are just used to getting raped at every turn, or you have something that's a nice enough vehicle for it to be worth engineering it in a manner that makes doing the oil change more difficult and expensive and thus don't care.

Not even in Japan. Using communal objects is gross.

There’s not much wrong with cars themselves, they are very useful for travels that would take hours on foot.
There is something very wrong with car-dependency and designing cities around cars. The least congested cities in the world happens to be the most walkable ones as well accounted for population density.

That's an issue that has more to do with retarded and ineffectual zoning laws than anything else.

I'm not sure why the US hasn't created better long distance trains for travel. I understand the size of USA is massive, but it would create many trickledown jobs and stimulate the economy. All while increasing the quality of life. I suppose GM fills the pockets of politicians, so it doesn't happen.

In the US almost all the rail lines are privately owned. The rail companies abandoned passenger rail decades ago, as it is a giant money pit, while freight rail makes them plenty of money. (Do note that the US probably has the best freight rail system in the world) The federal government did take over some passenger rail with Amtrak, but it requires large subsidies to operate, on the order of ten times as much per passenger mile as the subsides roads or airlines receive.

In Europe most of the rail lines are owned by governments; politicians choose to run passenger rail for popularity points, despite the high subsidies required; that's why they have such high fuel taxes in Europe, they decided to make car drivers pay for the trains. This also stunted the use of freight rail in Europe, as the passenger trains take up space on the rail.

It should also be noted that the locations in the US were the public does want passenger rail are incredibly corrupt, which makes building stuff stupid expensive & time consuming. Just look at California's shitshow of a high speed rail project they have been "working" on for the last decade. California had originally hired the French national railroad company to assist with the project, but they gave up & decided that working with the less corrupt Morocco government on a HSR project was easier.
