A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:
In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less

Because car infrastructure is totally dominant. There are some posts about advocating for busses, trains, or bike lanes. Most users are in the US though where car dependence is strongly built into the system.
You can only make so many posts saying how much better trains or busses are at moving people though. It gets old fast. There’s a lot more ways to joke about how much it sucks that we are required to use cars, and how shitty certain large vehicles in particular are.
Oh…
Well what about the post above?? I don’t understand what these statistics even are or why they’re even important? Who made the image and what for?
sorry if im asking a buncha questions, im just confused is all :<
Basically, trucks take up a disproportionate amount of our infrastructure budget and provide disproportionately little. If the same money was spent on infrastructure for car alternatives everyone would be better off. It sucks that society has prioritized them over everyone else.
