I live in a city with dedicated bus lanes and basically use buses every week

No one wants the buses you are describing, but that's exactly why we need to invest more in public transit and don't listen to car advocates wanting "just one more lane™". There are enough cities around the world with good transit options, where people want to take the bus or tram or bike, not because of "culture" but because they simply are the best option. And you won't get there by adding another lane for cars.

When did I say we should add more lanes for cars? I’m just saying removing a car lane for adding a bike lane isn’t always a good idea, but public transportation should be prioritized imo

P.S.: Do you also visit gay bars and get "censored" when there are no women there? No one's forcing you to comment and not being open to learn is unwelcome here. Have you at least read the rules?

That must be one of the most stupid comparison I’ve heard. Have you read the rules? I’m pretty sure I did and have done nothing wrong. You’re the one being hostile to me for my opinion

Well knowing the community, can you really blame me for understanding it this way?

that it was calling to ban cars everywhere, instead of just one bridge

That bridge is probably the fastest way to go in this direction so I’m making a big deal of it because of this.

I do believe people won’t switch for public transportation if they have to wait more than a couple of minutes or if there isn’t a bus stop nearby. I can’t imagine doing many short daily travel by other means than cars because buses are often super late and turn some short itineraries into long ones, at the point where I regularly find myself in a situation where walking is faster than waiting for the bus

Wrong thing to say at the wrong place, do better next time.

I won’t censor my opinion because I’m somewhere where everyone thinks the same

I tend to feel lonely and sad

Having other people around forces me to live more a more healthy life, dress myself, eat with them, wake up, shower...

heh, can be good for mental health to be around people

living alone can be mentally exhausting

straight up evil

Living the dream life, I see

Or a shared lane for buses and bikes? But it might defeat the purpose of providing more comfort and safety to cyclists

Unfortunately it’s not that easy. They’re still needed for many places, when moving stuff around, when public transportation isn’t developed enough, which is pretty much the case worldwide if you want to go to a specific address

Comparing transportation modes with racism? Damn

They can still ride on the road, you’re exaggerating

It’ll make it less safe though

I agree
