      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.

      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.

      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.
