I’d assume the train passes past the station either way, so it’s just a matter of stopping or not.
She probably has a yearly/minthly ticket, meaning no one needs to actually be tzere at the station. The train just comes, stops and goes. Doesn’t seem like too much of an added cost.
Fair enough. But I also have experience living in Japan and using the trains daily. Each line is set and scheduled and if it was a minute late it either broke down entirely or there was an actual emergency. Commuter stops are also really quick, like a minute or two. It’s honestly really nice
I’m sure! Don’t worry, I was just making a joke about how bad the trains are for me locally. It’s not uncommon to see trains skipping the entire CITY because they’re behind schedule.
being downvoted by idiots who think running a train is more environmentally friendly than 1 EV.
In this case you’re the idiot for not realizing the train was already on this route and was just making ONE extra stop to pick her up. (Well two, I guess she would appreciate being dropped off as well).
P.S. Tell your mom that you are not cool, but an idiot.
There’s been like a dozen ppl pointing out the basic flaw in your logic (train is running anyway, just makes a 1 minute stop), but you ignored them all to focus on the one dumb comment about lithium sourcing.
Would have been cheaper and more efficient to just buy her a car

We’re making a lot of assumptions here.
Especially the American car people.
Yeah it’s a real stretch to assume that the train follows the same tracks every day
Given the chaos that occasionally happens to my local public transport, I could probably say this statement unironically.

Cars are inefficient, they can carry much fewer people and are also a lot more polluting.
Also, they are dirty and you need to watch traffic. In train you can study, read, actually develop instead of being miserable.
Not to mention you need to buy gas, schedule & pay for maintenance, etc.
Yeah nobody needs to pay for train maintenance, we all know it’s free! /s

The train was already there
Right but now is it more environmentally friendly or efficient to maintain, staff and run a train for one person? Give her an EV and everybody wins
Except for wherever they sourced the lithium from, but ok.
🤦♂️ like arguing with a bot
