  • I believe it’s a collective of ideas and feelings.

    The connecting bit is that people here are tired of how our nations have shaped and modeled modern life to be reliant on personal vehicles. Depending on who you would ask here, they might have varying perspectives.

    I live in the US, and logically think that there should be at least a third less personal vehicles. As for trucks, I strongly believe that the trucks that have been coming out the last couple of years are just monstrosities that have no place on the public road systems. Unless you’re using your truck work or its utility features 3/5ths of the time in a year, you probably shouldn’t own a truck.

    As for bikes, public buses, trams, and trains. Those are a lot better all around compared to the car/truck-centric transportation system we have now. Besides there being more deaths by conventional transportation, more injuries, parking issues, traffic jam issues, road system congestion, air quality issues, respiratory prone area issues, and the sure cost of maintaining such a car and truck-centric system in decent or better condition… just the space it takes to transport the same number of people down a road is far less with bikes or buses.

    Does that answer your question?

    Here are a few options to remedy this rare problem.

    1. Uhaul truck rental.
    2. Ask a friend. family member or neighbor to help you out with their truck or ask to borrow their truck for the task at hand. (Fill the gas tank before returning it to ensure they’ll be willing to let you borrow their truck again, when you need it.)
