Yes, you can get around certain parts of America very well without a car. Nearly all sizable metro areas do not require a private car to get around. I'm currently visiting my family in North Carolina for a two-week holiday. Only one get together, at a family friend's place out in the country, required me to ride along in a car. Ironically, despite being on foot, I was the one tasked with buying the liquor and mixers for the party - and I was easily able to do so, walking less than a mile from my sister's house to the nearest Walmart and liquor store while she was away at work.Of course there are limitations. Some buses don't run on weekends, for instance. If a car pickup at the nearest bus station is not available, you might have to walk a few miles with your bags to reach somebody's door. My mom's house is four miles from the nearest bus stop at a community college, for instance. My dad's house is three miles from the bus stop. Some roads are narrow with no sidewalks, requiring you to walk along the grassy shoulder full of fire ant nests to avoid being hit by passing vehicles.Anyone else want to share their experiences of traveling America without a car?
My first trip in America without a car was back in 2021. I didn't get very adventurous. Rode the Greyhound from hell, ducked out of a confrontation with a crazy bum in Mobile, got trashed on random discarded drinks in New Orleans, kissed a drunk fat Swedish girl, guided cars through pedestrian traffic on Bourbon Street, hotboxed with cartel hustlers in Nuevo Laredo, slept on a bench in Tucson, and bought a minivan for $3400 cash from a Mexican in Yuma.Yeah yeah traveling South Asia is my main goal for the next eight months, but I also really want to spend a couple weeks next summer vagabonding on foot in America again. It really gives you a toughness and self-assurance that you can't get by staying at home or in hotels.
>>2843836>yes you can get around "CERTAIN" part of America very well without a carYeah no fucking shit you stupid fucking cunt. Just because 1% of the country isn't terrible to travel around doesn't make it walkable.
>>2844413It does make it walkable. But as usual, you basement dwellers will find any excuse under the sun to stay with mommy and go nowhere.
It's always surreal to see your home city mentioned on 4chan. One of your yellow stops is what, on Tryon Road? I used to live there.And no, I would disagree that NC is just fine without a car. The Triangle bus system is fucking awful.
>sizable metro areasso the last places one would want to travel to
>>2844564I've ridden worse buses, but yeah, the negroes who ride the bus are often loud, smelly, ugly or otherwise repellent. That's American public transport for you, always full of undesirable characters. But it works. The drivers are polite, and the buses follow their posted schedules. Even with my flight arriving in RDU at 10:15 PM I was able to grab my carry-on and catch the 10:40 PM bus to the city.
>>2844625The backwoods of central NC are bleaker than the cities. A bunch of scraggly pine trees and ratty trailers or old homes scattered along rural roads. Everything is private property, nobody is friendly. The best nature trails are in the metro areas. Big beautiful trees and plentiful wildlife. My brother and I ate some shrooms and enjoyed a peaceful hike around one of Raleigh's lake parks.
>The best nature trails are in the metro areaslollmao even
Haven't owned a car in 10 years, the "america isn't walkable" meme exists for people to justify owning a stupidly expensive car they don't NEED but WANT. America has a suprisngly robust bus network and if you use it you can get virtually everywhere in cities with a bike+bus combo.
Never understood the >muh walkable cities meme.Every relevant city in the US with things worth seeing has bus routes and side walks. Some have trains, subways as well. When I go over to Europe I don't go out to the metro area where people live and there's nothing cool to do unless your target is sex (kill yourself). I stay in the main city limits where all the transport is. I go don't go fucking roaming into the french countryside and call it walkable since it's clearly not.
>>2844683>America>busthat's for black people and people who just got out of jail, anon, which you will encounter on every bus ride
>>2844631>Everything is private property, nobody is friendlysadly, that's america in generalpeople have become so overwhelmed by territorialism and the possibility of having their own space, they have forgotten we live on a shared planet
>>2844696Yeah, two weeks of riding buses around North Carolina gave me a severe case of negro fatigue. It's perfectly understandable why most respectable Americans avoid riding buses altogether, and choose to live in suburbs with no bus service - meaning that all those, ahem, characters can't live there.
>>2844696My abusive parents decided to make me homeless and have me institutionalized in the winter 15ish years ago, and because of the logistics of me being unwilling to go in voluntarily, they had to ship me to a hospital 2 hours away and I had to take two buses home. I got on one of those buses and the black guy sitting next to me explains he just got out of prison for 3rd degree murder or something like that and we didn't talk after that. >>2845352maybe we shouldn't have black people around
America is a great country with wonderful people and beautiful scenery.It's world-class food and infrastructure is top notch.
It's the God's honest truth. Ghetto negros in America stink worse than the streets of Mumbai. All it takes is one character to perfume a whole bus with their fruity boozy bluntsmoke & B.O. combination that is staggeringly repellent. My nose is unironically relieved by the generic slum smells of India, because they don't come from an obese black body with an obnoxious sassy attitude.
>>2844689European cities are still far more walkable than American ones though. Here the car is still clearly the first priority. In Europe you can walk and sort of forget about cars.
