    This is a perfectly fitting example if you think what would instead happen if instead there were needed to be done construction on the road (they would do half lane at the time to allow traffic, or they would only work at night and reopen the road for the day, ft. Your tax money going to construction workers night shifts). As long as car drivers are seen as special requirements kids its always going to be made artificially easier to drive rather than commuting in other ways.

      Just to be clear, my point (aside from that being rural sucks for transportation+there was only 1 option in this situation) is that the problem is infrastructure and planning rather than the vehicles themselves.

      EDIT: And yeah, I don’t know why they didn’t split the job up into at least 2. [A to B] and [B to C] rather than [A-C] (and more sections could’ve probably been done when it comes to the resurfacing). Seems as if this were a sudden change after delays too.
