Not Just Bikes
An attempt to recreate the /r/NotJustBikes community on Lemmy. I'm just reserving the Community Name, other folks (for instance the /r/NotJustBikes mods?) are welcome to take over.
NOTE: This sublemmy (?) is in no way related to or affiliated with NotJustBikes, Jason Slaughter, etc.
#RULES
1. Be nice. Please.
I know it's the internet, but be nice. And report trolls & spammers.
2. No memes
No memes, image macros, or low-effort posts. These are easily upvoted, but they pollute the subreddit very quickly.
POSTING MEMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN.
3. Stay on topic
Try to stick to posts and comments related to the themes of NJB videos, or content creation. Things like urban planning, mobility & transportation, social equity, Dutch culture, etc..
4. No Trolling
Go troll somewhere else. We don't need that shit here.
5. No comment screenshots
Please don't post screenshots of stupid comments as a post. We all know there are ignorant morons online, we don't need to bring even more attention to their stupid comments.
6. No vehicular cycling
I have no patience for advocates of vehicular cycling. You can talk about vehicular cycling, but if you promote it as an alternative to safe bike infrastructure, I will ban you. You can post that crap somewhere else.
7. No people being hit by cars/road violence
Do not show videos or pictures of people being hit by cars, or other road violence. We don't need to see that shit. We know cars are dangerous, and many people have bad memories of car crashes. Keep it out of this subreddit.
8. No tone policing
We don't need any more tone police. If you don't like the tone that Not Just Bike takes in his videos, there's a very easy solution: stop watching them.
9. No internet drama
Don't spread or promote drama over what has happened on the Internet. You're spending too much time online: go touch grass.

I am not arguing against transit/active mobility, again it was just a comment included in the video. Though even the taxis shown look to have more seats than a standard taxi cab (sedan), so that might not even be the best thing to call them. There is potential for taxi sharing setup for more throughput, but again that's nuance/detail that I understand why it wouldn't be in the video.
Also my point in my first response to you was much like saying that carpooling is better than driving to work alone. Especially in a shuttle (minibus) setup with multiple trips/destinations etc is going to be better than a car that will sit in a garage or parking space most of the time.
That and the enclosed system with custom efficient/utilitarian vehicles, lower speed, smaller roads etc makes it seem like a good system if you're going to have roads. Especially when it's a need-based system as described in the video. Though in the video it looks like there isn't much vehicle traffic anyway, so still walkable/bikable etc.
