Mostly on Mastodon, but trying out Lemmy and enjoying it a lot.
The person under an abusive situation easily loses the car key to the abuser.
Ambulances get stuck all the time in congestioned cities and that’s a problem.
A car should never be someone’s night shelter, that person is homeless in that case. Houses, not cars, can solve the problem.
Want to do a special trip where car is the most convenient option? You can rent one out. If you only use a car a few times a year, buying one is a terrible waste of money and street space.
As far as I know these anti-theft measures they demand are optional in Europe and you pay extra for them. If crime is low is not such an issue not having them. So maybe Chicago should bet on reducing crime instead?
As an European I’m extremely confused by this news as well… so Chicago has a high crime problem and the city’s solution is to sue Asian carmakers? Sorry but this only makes sense in the US, I guess…
PS: maybe Hyundai should also sue Chicago city for failing to curb crime, a failure that leads to many car thefts?
I think “unlimited” is a way too big word considering all the limitations, I’m not even sure what’s left after these:
Unlike Germany’s identically priced travel pass, however, the Portuguese ticket is not available on buses or on intercity trains such as the Alfa Pendular, Intercidades, InterRegional and Internacional services.
It is also not valid for urban networks in Porto, Lisbon and Coimbra.
Where is Portugal’s €49 rail pass valid? The new national train pass can be used on most regional services around the country, but there are a couple of excluded areas.
Both the Alentejo Litoral and the Coimbra area are not participating in the scheme.
This means the pass is not valid on routes including Régua-Pocinho (Douro Line), Coimbra-Figueira da Foz (suburban Coimbra), Pinhal Novo-Évora and Pinhal Novo-Vila Nova da Baronia (Alentejo Line), and Pinhal Novo-Tunes (Southern Line).
