On traffic

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

1. There is a lower bound, which is strictly greater than zero, to the area occuppied by any given vehicle.
   
2. All cities have finite area.
3. The probability of a traffic-jam occurring in a city is proportional to the area occupied by the cars and other vehicles driving in it.
4. The purpose of commuting is not getting vehicles from one place to another, but rather, getting people from one place to another.
5. The area occupied by a mass-transit (bus, rail, tram, subway) system, per user, is smaller than the area occupied by normal car, per user (even when the car is full to its capacity, and all mass transit users are sitting down).
6. Mass transit systems can be planned and scheduled, while individual cars cannot.
7. The number of cars in a city can increase much faster than the total length of paved road for them to roll on.

From all of the above, it can be easily proven that if you are driving your car instead of riding the bus, you are increasing the probability of a traffic jam occurring.

On the other hand, if you ride the bus or train, you decrease the probability of a traffic jam occurring.

Therefore, if you drive a car you have no fucking right to complain about traffic jams, for you are contributing to the probability of them occurring more than you would if you used alternative commuting methods.

On the other hand, if you are riding the bus or tram, you have every right to spit at cars.

All of the above is specially true in rush hours.
