13. Sorry you had to wait. Mass transit requires masses of people to work
Sending buses or trains to rural areas takes more energy than simply using personal vehicles.

So if you live in the country, you have to drive.

The good news is that you get points for living close to your food supply. Unless you just live out in the country because you don't like being around people.

Seriously, rural drivers don't bother me.

The people I have a problem with are the ones in cities who use automobiles for every damn trip, even ones that could be easily done on foot or by bike. It's a mass psychosis and it's starting to really piss me off.

:toast:

ps: Don't just coast downhill. Go balls to the wall. It's more fun and that way going up the next hill doesn't take any effort at all. YMMV of course.
