美國人為什么如此迷戀汽車？
How America Got Hooked On Cars
譯文簡介
美國人開車?yán)锍踢h超其他國家，但駕駛的實際體驗遠不如想象中浪漫：司機常困于擁堵，汽車排放污染，缺乏步行導(dǎo)致缺乏鍛煉等。首先承認汽車很棒，但它們的盛行離不開政策傾斜和強大游說團體的推動。CNBC采訪了相關(guān)研究人員并分析數(shù)據(jù)，試圖全面解讀美國人為何對汽車如此依賴。
正文翻譯
美國汽車依賴現(xiàn)象根植于百年政策扶持與利益集團推動，其本質(zhì)是系統(tǒng)性偏袒而非單純的文化偏好。20世紀(jì)初，汽車?yán)婕瘓F通過郊區(qū)化政策、強制停車規(guī)定及寬松交通法規(guī)，逐步瓦解了以公交和步行為核心的城市結(jié)構(gòu)，并通過1956年《聯(lián)邦公路法案》將公路網(wǎng)絡(luò)擴張合法化。如今，70%的美國人自駕上班，僅3.5%使用公共交通，但汽車享有全方位補貼：法律強制建筑附帶車位、財政每年投入數(shù)千億美元維護公路，而行人死亡率、擁堵成本及城市宜居性下降等社會代價日益凸顯。近年改革嘗試如擁堵收費、電動自行車推廣及步行友好城市建設(shè)雖引發(fā)爭議，卻為多元化出行提供了可能。然而，中產(chǎn)階級仍困于高房價與通勤壓力，郊區(qū)化慣性未消，系統(tǒng)性矛盾依然存在。

An American drives a Ford F150 10 miles to get a $7 burger and 10 miles back. If that's not insane I don't know what is.
一個美國人開著福特F150皮卡，來回20英里就為了買一個7美元的漢堡——如果這都不算瘋狂，我真不知道什么才算。
Americans have this weird notion that having transportation options is socialism and having only one option (cars) is freedom.
美國人總有一種奇怪的觀念：擁有多種交通選擇是社會主義，而只能開車才叫自由。
Imagine reading a book or watching a show on your 30 min commute instead of just driving everyday! There is so many upsides to public transit.
想象一下，每天通勤的30分鐘里你本可以看書或追劇，而不是只能握著方向盤！公共交通的好處明明那么多。
A lot of people think the only thing urbanists stand for is a world where cars are banned. Not true! What urbanists stand for is a world where cars aren't the only means of transportation. It's actually about an increase in freedom. The ability to walk, bike, take a bus, take a train, drive, or fly should all be equally valid ways to reach a destination based on the specificities of the trip. But currently, the overreliance on driving makes the first four completely unfeasible in a majority of American cities for a majority of trips.
很多人以為城市規(guī)劃者只想徹底禁車，其實大錯特錯！我們追求的是打破汽車壟斷，步行、騎行、公交、火車、自駕或飛機，應(yīng)根據(jù)不同需求成為平等的出行選項。但如今過度依賴汽車，讓前四種方式在美國大多數(shù)城市中幾乎無法實現(xiàn)。
I moved to Japan a few years ago and the quality of life difference due to public transportation alone is insane. Americans genuinely do not know what they’re missing out on so I don’t blame them for their ignorance.
幾年前我搬到日本，單憑公共交通帶來的生活質(zhì)量提升就足夠震撼。美國人根本不知道自己錯過了什么，但我不怪他們無知。
Driving is only freedom if you have the right to choose not to if you don't want to. If car dependency is mandated by law, you aren't free. You're being forced to drive whether you like it or not.
只有當(dāng)你擁有“不開車”的選擇權(quán)時，開車才叫自由。如果法律強制要求依賴汽車，你就沒有自由。本質(zhì)上是被逼著開車，無論你愿不愿意。
The more you learn about American history and understand the system the more you realise this country was made for profit making, exploitation, not for orderly people to live and thrive. This country was made for the rich by the rich to the rich...
越了解美國歷史和體制，就越明白這個國家是為榨取利益而生的，而非讓普通人安居樂業(yè)。它是富人設(shè)計、富人掌控、只為富人服務(wù)的機器。
Moved from the Bay Area to Chicago and absolutely love not having a car. I love driving and my cars, but traffic is absolutely soul draining. A lot of people driving really shouldn’t be driving too.
從灣區(qū)搬到芝加哥后，我終于體會到無車生活的快樂。雖然我愛開車，但堵車真的會吸干靈魂——何況路上不少司機壓根不該握方向盤。
Europe is the perfect example of how you can have walkable cities, public transport AND cars and still drive if you want to. All modes of transport have their strengths and weaknesses. That's why there are multiple systems, to each compliment the other and help in an area where one might fall short.
歐洲完美示范了如何兼容步行友好、公交發(fā)達與自駕自由。各種交通方式各有優(yōu)劣，因此需要多元系統(tǒng)互補，火車到不了的地方，自行車能接上；公交不便時，開車也能救急。
Imagine riding a train for 2hrs from LA to Vegas rather than driving for 4 hours straight hoping your car won’t break down in the middle of Death Valley
想象一下：從洛杉磯坐2小時火車直達拉斯維加斯，而不是在死亡谷里提心吊膽開4小時，祈禱車子別半路拋錨。
Freedom isn't having to rely on having a car and have no other methods of going to work. Freedom is having a choice of transportation.
自由不是被迫依賴汽車且別無選擇，而是能按需選擇交通方式。
I am from Vietnam and when I come to the US, it's crazy to think to drive 65mph for 15 minutes just to buy groceries and necessities. It's just not walkable here and everything so far apart.
作為越南人，剛到美國時我驚呆了：買點雜貨居然要飆車15分鐘、時速65英里？這里根本不適合步行，所有東西都隔得老遠。
Cars have gotten heavier just like we Americans have. Obese cars for an obese people.
汽車越來越臃腫，就像我們美國人一樣——胖子開胖車，絕配。
Those who love driving should promote walkable cities and public transportation because it makes driving fun again!
真正愛開車的人更該支持步行友好城市和公交系統(tǒng)，路上車少了，駕駛樂趣才能回來?。?
The other issue is that people often get priced out of city life. So not having access to public transit leads to buying/leasing cars.
另一個問題是，許多人被高房價擠出城市。沒有便捷的公交，他們只能被迫買車或租車。
We love taking the Amtrak train; less stress, no parking issues, and no traffic jams or road rage!
我們?nèi)叶紣圩黎F：沒堵車路怒，不用找車位，全程輕松得像度假。
But ... but ... it's FREEDOM. Freedom to be forced to drive due to the lack of good local public transportation networks and passenger rail networks. If they exist at all they're not good enough to be a good alternative to driving for most people. For me freedom is having the choice if I want to drive or not. The freedom not to have to drive, not depending on having a car. Using public transport sometimes or on a regular basis does NOT mean that you can't have and use a car as well. Most people here have / use both
“但……但這是自由啊！”這種“自由”就是被迫開車，因為本地公交和鐵路太爛。即使有，對多數(shù)人來說也不夠用。真正的自由應(yīng)是能選開不開車，不必依賴汽車。偶爾坐公交不等于放棄開車，大多數(shù)人明明可以兩者兼得。
I live in East Tennessee. I have nearly my entire life. I don’t like driving. It’s an inconvenient necessity. I work from home, but when I do need to go out I don’t even have a sidewalk or a bike lane. There is no public transit within walking distance. It’s a massive problem.
我在東田納西州住了一輩子。我討厭開車但不得不開，居家辦公還好，可一旦要出門，連人行道和自行車道都沒有，步行范圍內(nèi)更沒公交。這問題太嚴(yán)重了。
A super easy way to tell that car-dependency is not the "free market" is the existence of "parking minimums". Parking minimums are city laws which force businesses, offices, and homes to build a certain number of parking spaces for something like every 100 sq ft or one bedroom. If the free market desired more car parking, there wouldn't need to be laws which mandate them. Same thing with suburban sprawl. Cities have development laws that ban every type of development pattern except suburban sprawl. It's not the people's preferences, necessarily, it's the law. It's way past time to get rid of these laws and let people choose the way they wish to live.
判斷“汽車依賴”是否源于“自由市場”很簡單：看看“最低停車位標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”這種法規(guī)就知道了。政府強制商家、辦公樓和住宅按面積配建車位。若真是市場需要，何必立法強推？郊區(qū)擴張也一樣，法規(guī)禁止其他開發(fā)模式。這不是民眾的選擇，而是法律的枷鎖。早該廢除這些規(guī)定，讓人們自由選擇生活方式。
It keeps people atomized, away from their community. It also keeps us sick and unhealthy. Cars are great for camping, but having to rely on them daily is the worst. I want to take a metro to work, and drive to the mountains on the weekends, but most cities here aren’t multimodal.
汽車把人與人割裂，讓人遠離社區(qū)，還損害健康。周末開車露營很棒，但日常依賴汽車簡直災(zāi)難！我想坐地鐵通勤、周末自駕進山，但多數(shù)美國城市根本不支持這種多模式出行。
It’s time for America to invest heavily in rail and high speed rail.
美國是時候砸錢修鐵路，尤其是高鐵了！
Honestly, after living abroad for two years in an area with incredibly efficient, safe, affordable public transportation, I’ve been making an escape plan to leave the US again. People in the US scream freedom!!!!!! But there is nothing more free than not having a car payment and getting where I need to go by foot/public transit. I could even get to small seaside villages for $2.00 on the bus. Freedom is a joke in America because we all are forced into debt just like being forced to get a car loan, insurance, maintenance, gas, etc just to literally survive here. $12,000 a year of car ownership is 1/3 to 1/2 of many people's entire paychecks. It's all so rigged in favor of big banks and corporations here in the US with no thought to the best policies for its citizens.
在國外體驗了兩年高效安全又便宜的公交后，我正計劃再次逃離美國。美國人整天吼“自由”，但真正的自由是不背車貸、靠雙腳和公交到達目的地——我曾花2美元坐公交去海邊小村。在美國，“自由”就是個笑話：為了生存，你被迫貸款買車、買保險、保養(yǎng)、加油……每年養(yǎng)車花1.2萬美元，抵得上普通人1/3到一半的收入。這一切都是為大銀行和財團設(shè)計的，哪管百姓死活。
"Policies favoring cars" aka "Immense lobbying dollars buying politicians" aka corruption
所謂“親汽車政策”，本質(zhì)是“砸錢游說政客”，也就是腐敗。

I feel like there are forces in the United States that are making sure that the public is constantly spending their money on some kind of expenses like driving a car and living in a house that won't last a lifetime. Right now, the public is constantly being encouraged to sign up for all kinds of subscxtions. They are selling all kinds of products that you can't use until you connect them to some kind of online subscxtion service.
我感覺美國有股勢力在逼民眾不斷花錢，養(yǎng)車、住短命房子，現(xiàn)在又狂推訂閱制，賣各種必須聯(lián)網(wǎng)訂閱才能用的產(chǎn)品。
I live in Miami, and I’m in the downtown Brickell area. It’s very refreshing that I don’t have to use my car as often. I can walk most places, take the train and metro to different neighborhoods and cities, and lastly I have a scooter that takes me everywhere I need to go! That’s what I call freedom, not having to depend on my car everywhere I go!
我住在邁阿密Brickell市中心，很少需要用車，步行能到多數(shù)地方，坐火車或地鐵去其他街區(qū)，還有電動滑板車解決最后一公里。這才叫自由，而不是走哪都得靠汽車！

I actually just ordered an E bike last night because I had a realization that the small town that I live in is about 2 miles long by 2 miles wide. Why should I use a car to get around in the town? Of course, the closest big town is still 30 miles away, so it's not totally replacing a car, but it's something!
昨晚我剛下單電動自行車，因為我突然意識到：我住的小鎮(zhèn)才兩英里見方，干嘛非要開車？當(dāng)然，最近的大鎮(zhèn)在30英里外，暫時還不能完全棄車，但總算邁出一步！

US cars are getting bigger and bigger as well, that's why the average car accident is more likely to result in pedestrian fatalities
美國車越造越大，難怪車禍中行人死亡率越來越高。
A really simple advantage of public transport, particularly for longer journeys, is that you're not stuck behind the wheel of your car and you can do something else with your time. So even if it takes 50% longer...you can still save time.
公共交通有個超簡單的優(yōu)勢，尤其是長途出行時，你不用被困在方向盤前，還能利用時間做別的事。所以即使耗時多50%，實際反而更省時間。
I live in Shanghai, China as an American from Arizona, and it's wild how much better Chinese transportation and logistics infrastructure is than ours.

Here in Indiana, the legislature banned Indianapolis from building rail of any form. This blatant car preference is really sinister
印第安納州立法機構(gòu)直接禁止印第安納波利斯修建任何形式的鐵路。這種赤裸裸的汽車偏好政策實在是陰險至極
People are so obsessed with their cars that they'd shoot at tow truck companies

As someone who immigrated to the US, the car dependency here is insane. In some cities without proper public transit, you literally can't survive without a car
作為移民來到美國后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)這里的汽車依賴癥已經(jīng)病入膏肓，在那些缺乏基本公交系統(tǒng)的城市里，沒有汽車根本無法生存
Changing this will take forever
這種局面想要改變簡直遙遙無期
The only reason walkable cities are more expensive is that there is a severe lack of supply, and it is not evenly distributed. So the only people that can afford walkable cities are higher income people that can and want to move to these few walkable areas
所謂"宜居城市更貴"完全是供需失衡的惡果。當(dāng)優(yōu)質(zhì)地段極度稀缺且分配嚴(yán)重不均時，只有高收入人群才買得起這種稀缺資源
So many people seem to think that countries like Japan and the Netherlands (known for their walkability and quality transportation) are 'anti-car' but that's so not true, in fact they're some of the best countries to drive in! The smaller, better designed roads and less traffic allow drivers to drive more comfortably and safely, plus since there are so many alternatives to driving, drivers will never find themselves sitting in traffic. It's this ridiculous brainwashing that 'bigger roads = better driving'
很多人誤以為日本荷蘭這樣的步行友好型國家是"反汽車社會"，這完全錯誤。這些國家反而是最適合開車的地方！緊湊合理的道路規(guī)劃和更少擁堵讓駕駛體驗舒適安全，再加上充足的替代出行方式，司機根本不需要被困在車流里。所謂"大路才好開"完全是汽車工業(yè)的洗腦謊言
I am so happy to live in a city in Europe, where a supermarket, a bakery, a restaurant...is around the corner and I can reach them easily by feet
在歐洲城市生活真是幸福，超市面包店餐館都近在咫尺，步行就能輕松抵達

There are several YT channels that upload colorized videos from the 20s through the 40s & 50s. In almost all of these videos you'll see public transitbuses, trolleys & trains. Car culture was & largely remains the result of policy

AAA estimates the true cost of owning a new car at $12,000 a year. The Dept of Transportation estimates that the bottom 20% of American earners spend about 40% of their income on transportation

Hopefully this let's people see that highways are just as subsidize and not "profitable" as public transit. Plus, for those who don't ever want to use public transit, this would just mean less cars on the road so you get less traffic!
希望能讓人們意識到高速公路和公共交通一樣都是補貼項目。對于那些拒絕使用公交的人來說，這意味著路上車輛減少，交通壓力自然降低
One of the main reasons why residential units in Manhattan are so costly is that its near public transit. So unless you can cough up so much money for rent or to buy, you are just going to end up living further away as the price becomes affordable to you. No, units and homes in outer boroughs aren't cheap or affordable either but is still much less than Manhattan. Public transit in these areas can be sparse and sometimes, untimely and have long commute time. People are going to end up with cars as public transit options aren't conducive to everyday life. Until Manhattan real estate prices go down, this problem would only expand. And there's no way prices will go down to an affordable level. It's FAR too late
曼哈頓住宅天價的主因是靠近公共交通。除非你能掏出巨額租金或購房款，否則只能住到更遠的地方?？赏獬菂^(qū)的房子也不便宜，通勤時間更長且公交系統(tǒng)稀疏。在現(xiàn)有條件下，人們被迫買車出行。等曼哈頓房價跌到可承受水平？門都沒有，這問題只會越來越嚴(yán)重

Driving is usually the slowest door to door transport option in London. Traffic is slow and parking hard to find. Can not compete with Bus/Tube/Trains or bikes for time. Still has the advantage of isolation but can also be stressful. Most everyone has a car in my area but almost no one would drive to work and our local shops are 2 minutes walk from home. It's only for lager shopping trips or weekends out of London cars are used for. I use mine 3 or 4 times a month. The poorer you are, the more likely you will need to use a car more as you will be priced out of areas with good public transport.
在倫敦開車通常是門到門最慢的交通方式。交通擁堵且停車?yán)щy，完全比不上公交/地鐵/自行車的時間效率。雖然開車有隱私優(yōu)勢但也可能帶來壓力。我所在地區(qū)幾乎人人有車，但沒人會開車上班，本地商店步行兩分鐘就到。只有大宗購物或周末出城才會用車，我每月最多用3-4次。窮人更需要頻繁用車，因為他們被高票價擠出優(yōu)質(zhì)公交區(qū)域

New cars are expensive but at least car loan rates, car maintenance costs, fuel costs,insurance costs and parking costs are sky high too! This means the government gets a lot of money in taxes and the local councils dont need to invest in public transport. Freedom indeed.

European cities have suburbs too, but they are much more livable than US ones. You have supermarkets, mom and pop shops, bakeries and so on. Like little villages.

歐洲城市也有郊區(qū)，但比美國宜居得多。那里有超市、家庭作坊、面包店等等，就像小村莊。而美國禁止商業(yè)進入郊區(qū)，當(dāng)人們突然發(fā)現(xiàn)自己沒糖烤蛋糕時，不得不驅(qū)車長途跋涉
Cars arent going away. Not every point on the map needs to be, or should be, reached by public transit. I love my car and the personal freedom and flexibility it allows.
汽車不會消失。并非每個地點都必須或應(yīng)該通過公共交通到達。我愛我的車以及它帶來的自由和靈活性
It started in the 1950s. Sure there were a lot of cars in the US before this, but American cities hadn't been remodelled to fit around the car.
這種轉(zhuǎn)變始于1950年代。盡管此前美國已有大量汽車，但城市規(guī)劃并未圍繞汽車進行調(diào)整
I had a job 10 years ago here in Utah. To get to the job I would walk to the nearby bus stop and wait. The bus came every half hour so I would need to arrive 2-3 minutes early to make sure I was there on time. It took about 5 minutes to walk to. Then it would drive me south to the transit center for 15 minutes where I would wait another 10-15 minutes for the bus to transfer to. That bus would pick me up and drive 20 minutes west where I would get out and walk another 15 minutes to my job.
Or, I could drive there in 18 minutes.
十年前我在猶他州有個工作：步行5分鐘到公交站，每半小時一班車，需提前2-3分鐘到達。乘車15分鐘到換乘中心，再等10-15分鐘轉(zhuǎn)乘另一班車，再坐20分鐘西行下車，步行15分鐘到公司，全程比開車18分鐘還久

Both the USA and Canada have so much wasted RAIL potential... each country has thousands of miles of railroad lines, but the vast majority of those lines are either freight lines, or sadly, abandoned!

Freedom is having options on how you get around. When you are forced to drive you have no options so you have no freedom.
自由在于有多種出行選擇。被迫開車就等于失去自由
If you own a car, you have been conned my the automobile industry. They're the one who created the "American dream" to own cars. Yet, look the world we live in now, we are so car dependant it makes our lives complicated, damage the environment, busy traffics, pollutions, accidents, insurance, maintenance, gas and wasting our money on cars. The stress of having a car....
汽車工業(yè)欺騙了我們。他們創(chuàng)造了"美國夢"來鼓吹汽車擁有，但現(xiàn)實是汽車依賴讓生活復(fù)雜化，破壞環(huán)境、引發(fā)擁堵污染、事故頻發(fā)，還要支付保險保養(yǎng)油費，浪費金錢并帶來壓力

I live in NYC, I have never owned a car (I saved tons of money and time), I ride a Citi bike everywhere and occasionally ride the subway or bus. If I ever move somewhere else in the United States I will specifically look into places with reliable public transit and separated bike lines. I lived car-free in LA for two years. It was challenging but possible. If I was able to do it in LA I definitely can live car free in Phila, Chicago, Boston, SF, maybe Seattle and Minneapolis.
我住在紐約市從未擁有過汽車（省下大量金錢和時間），騎Citi自行車出行，偶爾乘地鐵公交。若搬到美國其他地方，我會特別選擇公共交通完善且有獨立自行車道的地方。我在洛杉磯兩年無車生活雖艱難卻可行，既然能在洛杉磯做到，費城、芝加哥、波士頓、舊金山甚至西雅圖明尼蘇達也完全可能
This answers my question on why the US doesnt have high speed trains that could connect Chicago to NY which would hypothetically get you there in 30mins to 1hr. Imagine the economic impact that would make. Jobs would be more competitive. States would have to compete for workers and to attract talent in their state. People wont feel stuck in a state. Movement would be easier People would vacation more booming the economy and I can keep going. But this is an example of American politics. Lobbying. This is why you don't trust a politician
這解釋了為何美國沒有連接芝加哥和紐約的高鐵（理論上30-60分鐘可達）。想象其經(jīng)濟效益：就業(yè)更具競爭力，各州爭搶人才，人口流動性增強，旅游業(yè)繁榮。但這暴露了美國政治的本質(zhì)——游說集團作祟，這就是為何不信任政客
Instead of promoting EVs, the govt should promoting walkable cities and public transport
與其推廣電動車，政府應(yīng)推動步行友好城市和公共交通
Americans would rather create a traffic jam by creating a massive queue in a drive-through, instead of just parking in the empty parking lot and walking to the cashier.
美國人寧愿在得來速排長隊制造堵車，也不愿停在空蕩停車場步行結(jié)賬
Car dependency becomes a paywall for any activities, jobs, and life essentials.
汽車依賴成為所有活動、工作和生活必需品的門檻
Feels good driving a $100k ICE pick up truck to pick up grocery.
開著10萬美元的燃油皮卡買雜貨真是太爽了
The size of US has absolutely nothing to do with car dependency. People are not commuting from Denver to Miami on a daily basis and the ones who do travel between those cities are flying, not driving. US lack of public transportation and trains is nothing but negligence.
美國幅員遼闊與汽車依賴無關(guān)。日常通勤不會從丹佛到邁阿密，長途旅行選擇飛機而非自駕。美國缺乏公交和火車純粹是疏忽
I live in a sunbelt state in a city of about 80k. Im also a Strong Towns member (look it up). There is no way we can or will do away with cars, nor should we have to. But we cannot allow cars to 100% dominate the landscape. My surroundings are almost entirely single family subdivisions and driving is how we conduct most of our daily travels. However, within 1 mile of my house (about 5 mins on a bike) there are multiple strip malls with restaurants, grocery, a water park, schools, and many other amenities. This area could and should function as a village center and should be pleasant and inviting for people to walk or bike to. Instead, the design makes no effort to be anything other than highways, parking lots and strip malls. This is bad planning that has a negative effect on quality of life. The incremental cost of these areas being connected with bike paths and pedestrian friendly modifications is very small compared to what could be gained in value, economic activity, and again quality of life if we had options! Instead, everyone drives. Biking and walking is something you pay thousands of dollars to do on vacation!
我住在陽光地帶的一個8萬人口小城，是Strong Towns成員。我們無法也不該擺脫汽車，但不能讓汽車完全主導(dǎo)景觀。我家周圍幾乎全是獨棟住宅區(qū)，日常出行主要靠開車。但在離家步行5分鐘（騎行1公里）范圍內(nèi)，有多個商業(yè)綜合體，包含餐廳、超市、水上樂園、學(xué)校等設(shè)施。這些區(qū)域本應(yīng)成為步行友好型社區(qū)中心，但目前設(shè)計成了高速公路、停車場和商業(yè)街的組合。這種規(guī)劃嚴(yán)重降低了生活質(zhì)量。將這里改造為步行/騎行友好區(qū)域的邊際成本極低，相比提升的價值、經(jīng)濟活力和生活質(zhì)量改善微不足道?？晌覀円廊槐黄乳_車，騎行散步成了只有在度假時才消費得起的活動
Oh, and if you want to get people out of their cars, then you must GIVE THEM OPTIONS! Unless one lives in a big city like NYC, Chicago, or San Francisco, public transit is poor to non-existent. For example, in my area, the bus that runs nearby doesn't run much past 7 at night, and it doesn't run at all on Sundays. Before the route and schedule changes, I could and did use it for events downtown; in fact, I had a 10 trip ticket in my wallet for that purpose. Now? I tossed the 10 trip ticket, as the bus is no longer an option for me.
若想讓人們少開車，就必須提供替代方案！除非住在紐約、芝加哥、舊金山這樣的大城市，否則公共交通普遍差勁。以我所在地區(qū)為例，附近公交晚上7點后停運，周日完全無車。以前路線和班次調(diào)整前，我確實會乘公交參加市區(qū)活動，甚至還留著10次票?，F(xiàn)在？我扔掉了車票，公交已非可行選項
How about redirecting funds from foreign aid to domestic priorities instead? We could invest in better infrastructure, such as high-speed rail, and focus on taking care of our own citizens by providing free healthcare, improving public safety, and enhancing other essential services.
與其對外援助，不如將資金轉(zhuǎn)向國內(nèi)優(yōu)先事項？投資高鐵等基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，提供免費醫(yī)療、改善公共安全、加強其他基本服務(wù)
The United States had the best railroad networks and public transit in the world in the 1920s. the modern public transit systems still use the centuries old infrastructure to this day
20世紀(jì)20年代，美國擁有世界上最完善的鐵路和公交系統(tǒng)?，F(xiàn)代公交系統(tǒng)仍在使用百年基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施
Lack of reliable public transportation options require that you either spend an extra hour or more to find available routes to get where you need be for work, or buy a vehicle to take the shorter path and be protected from the weather if you have to wait for another bus etc.
缺乏可靠的公交選擇迫使人們要么花額外時間尋找路線，要么買車走捷徑并忍受等車時的天氣困擾
Short answer: Greed, capitalism, and racism. We had beautiful walkable town centres decades ago, but they were all destroyed to build highways.
簡而言之：貪婪、資本主義和種族主義。幾十年前我們曾擁有美麗的步行友好型城鎮(zhèn)中心，但它們都被摧毀以修建高速公路。
I live in a rural area. You need a car to get anywhere. Adding more public transport is fine for urban areas, but it's not realistic for a small town.
我住在農(nóng)村地區(qū)，這里需要汽車才能到達任何地方。增加公共交通對城市地區(qū)來說沒問題，但對于小城鎮(zhèn)并不現(xiàn)實。
Watching this depresses me living here in USA Biking to grocery shop is fun, healthy and after the small inner-city grocery store left I am bummed.
看到這些讓我在美國的生活感到壓抑。騎自行車購物既有趣又健康，但市中心的小雜貨店離開后，我感到沮喪。
I grew up in a rural small town of 6,000 people. It was nearly a two-hour drive to get to another town with more people. Walkable cities are great but cars a necessity for most people not in a metro-hub.
我在一個6000人的農(nóng)村小鎮(zhèn)長大，開車兩小時才能到另一個更大的城鎮(zhèn)。步行友好型城市雖好，但對不在大都市區(qū)的人來說，汽車幾乎是必需品。
This is a sham saying suburban living means you have to have a car. Ever heard of trains or buses????
這完全是虛假的說法，認為郊區(qū)生活就意味著必須擁有汽車。聽說過火車或公交車嗎???
Even if we wanted to move away from cars, our infrastructure is so skewed itd be a nightmare. Here in Indiana theres no way youd get away without a car unless you live in a big city because everything is so spread out. even in Indy though, the public transport
即使我們想擺脫汽車，基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的嚴(yán)重傾斜也會讓這變成噩夢。在印第安納州，除非住在大城市，否則根本離不開汽車——因為這里的一切都分布得太分散。即使在印第安納波利斯，公共交通也...
Why does every American city look like a car parking lot? Cars are taking over our lives. We need to rethink urban planning.
為什么每個美國城市都像停車場？汽車正在吞噬我們的生活。我們需要徹底重新規(guī)劃城市。
The government should tax gas guzzlers heavily to discourage car usage. Use the revenue to improve public transit.
政府應(yīng)對耗油大戶征收重稅以抑制汽車使用，用這筆收入改善公共交通。
Living in a walkable city is like having a superpower. You can walk to work, gym, coffee shops... no traffic jams, no parking stress. Americans need to experience this.
住在步行友好型城市就像擁有超能力，可步行上班、健身、買咖啡…不用堵車也不用找車位。美國人真該體驗這種生活。
I love my car! It gives me freedom. But I also use public transit when possible. Balance is key.
我愛我的車！它給了我自由。但只要可能我也乘坐公共交通。關(guān)鍵是保持平衡。
Cars are not going away, but we can reduce their dominance. Invest in bike lanes, pedestrian zones, and better transit. Make driving optional, not mandatory.
汽車不會消失，但我們可以減少其主導(dǎo)地位。投資建設(shè)自行車道、步行區(qū)和更好公交系統(tǒng)，讓開車成為可選而非必選。
"Public transit is socialist!" No, it's common sense. When I lived in Germany, public transit was excellent and nobody called it socialist.
"公共交通是社會主義！"不，這是常識。我在德國時公交系統(tǒng)很棒，沒人覺得這是社會主義。
I gave up my car three years ago. It was the best decision! I walk, bike, and take the bus. No stress, no debt, no gas. Life is simpler.
我三年前戒掉了汽車，這是最好的決定！我步行、騎車、坐公交。沒有壓力、債務(wù)和汽油費，生活更簡單。
Imagine a future where cities are designed for people, not cars. Narrow streets, no parking lots, plenty of green spaces. Public transit is king. Cars are for tourists and freight.
想象一個未來城市：為人而非汽車設(shè)計，狹窄街道、沒有停車場、遍布綠地。公共交通是主角，汽車僅用于游客和貨運。
The U.S. needs a complete overhaul of its transportation system. Highways are obsolete. We need trams, subways, and bike-sharing programs.
美國需要徹底改革交通系統(tǒng)。高速公路過時了，我們需要電車、地鐵和共享單車計劃。
I'm lucky to live in a neighborhood with a farmers' market every Saturday. No cars allowed in the market area. It's peaceful, healthy, and community-oriented.

Every time I see a car ad, I cringe. They're selling freedom, but cars are actually cages. True freedom is walking barefoot on a sidewalk.
每次看到汽車廣告我都起雞皮疙瘩。他們販賣自由，但汽車其實是牢籠。真正的自由是光腳走在人行道上。
The problem isn't cars per se, but our car-centric urban design. We've built cities that force car dependency. Fix the design, car use will decline naturally.
問題不在于汽車本身，而是以汽車為中心的城市設(shè)計。我們建造了迫使人們依賴汽車的城市。改變設(shè)計，汽車使用量自然會下降。
Gasoline should be taxed at $5 per gallon to discourage driving. Use the money to build solar farms and wind turbines.
汽油應(yīng)該每加侖征收5美元稅以抑制駕駛。用這筆錢建設(shè)太陽能和風(fēng)電場。

我每天步行10英里。這對身體、頭腦和環(huán)境都更好。汽車被過度吹捧了。

美國擁有發(fā)達國家中最差的公共交通系統(tǒng)。問題不在資金而在政治意愿。其他國家已經(jīng)證明這是可行的。

I sold my car last year. Best decision ever! Now I use buses, bikes, and walk. No insurance, no gas, no maintenance. Freedom!
去年賣掉了車，這是最好的決定！現(xiàn)在用公交、自行車和步行，省去了保險、油費、保養(yǎng)。這才是自由！
Imagine a city where every street has bike lanes, no traffic lights, and buses run on dedicated tracks. Efficiency would explode.
想象一個每條街都有自行車道、沒有紅綠燈、公交車在專用軌道上行駛的城市。效率會飆升。
The car culture is killing our cities. We need to prioritize people over cars. Wide sidewalks, streetcars, and community gardens.
汽車文化正在摧毀我們的城市。我們需要把人的需求放在汽車之上。拓寬人行道、增設(shè)電車、打造社區(qū)花園。

Its interesting reading the comments on these videos because there's always a population of people that get offended by the video and think its a personal attack if they perfer driving. For the most part we can agree that driving is the predominant mode of transportation in the USA. There are a certain population that can't drive, own a car or want to reduce the miles they drive. Just having that option is what people desire. If you want to drive you can drive. That isnt going anywhere especially in the USA.
有趣的是看這些視頻的評論，總有人因為視頻批評開車而覺得被冒犯。但說實話，美國確實以汽車為主要交通方式。有些人確實無法/不想開車，但關(guān)鍵是人們想要有選擇權(quán)。想開車的人當(dāng)然可以開，這在北美尤其行不通

The most important reason cars are king summed up in one word - Freedom. I can go where I want, when I want. Try carrying home a weeks groceries on the bus - I usually fill my trunk. I can stop on the way home and do errands conveniently. There are so many pluses that the minuses just don't count.

我不介意郊區(qū)或汽車。問題是除了郊區(qū)無處可住，除了開車無處可去。我們應(yīng)該有選擇居住地和出行方式的自由。不喜歡住城里沒關(guān)系，但其他人想要。步行友好社區(qū)有需求，不該讓普通人傾家蕩產(chǎn)才能住進去
Refreshing video from CNBC. Improving transit would be a boost to the local economy. A lot of good takes!
CNBC的這個視頻很新鮮。改善公交能提振本地經(jīng)濟，有很多金句
I love my car: its convenient, comfortable and private. So do hundreds of millions of other Americans. Waiting around for some angry bus driver in the freezing cold, or sitting next to some bozo blathering on a cellphone? No thanks.
我愛我的車：方便、舒適又私密。數(shù)百萬美國人也是這樣想的。誰想挨著在寒冷中等候發(fā)脾氣的公交司機？或坐在旁邊聽人煲電話粥？謝謝
If you truly want to solve the problem, make it into a law that allows people work from home instead of letting the banks and commercial real estate force the people to waste their time to all commute to the same place at the same time
真正解決之道是立法允許遠程辦公，而不是讓銀行和商業(yè)地產(chǎn)逼迫人們擠在同一時間去同一地點通勤
I wished that If we invested into trains more than cars I would be able to invest in establishing over 1,000 Class 1 Mainline Railroads so that Canadian Pacific can merge with a different railway instead of Kansas City Southern.
真希望我們投資火車而非汽車，這樣我就能建立超千條一級鐵路線，讓加拿大太平洋鐵路與其他線路合并而非堪薩斯城南方鐵路
I swear, CNBC could make a four season long documentary series about car dependency and I'd watch every second of it, Adds and all.
我發(fā)誓，CNBC能拍四季關(guān)于汽車依賴的紀(jì)錄片，我每秒都會看，廣告照常
For anyone who wants to learn more about the high price we pay for automobile dependency, I highly recommend Citynerd, City Beautiful, and Not Just BIkes, on Youtube. There are so many reasons we should be making our cities more bikable and encouraging more people to use public transit. Congestion pricing, like they recently enacted in New York City, is a start, but we should also do zoning reform to allow for higher density, mixed use, walkable neighborhoods.
想深入了解汽車依賴的高昂代價，我強烈推薦YouTube上的Citynerd、City Beautiful和Not Just Bikes頻道。我們有很多理由讓城市更適合騎行、鼓勵更多人使用公交。擁堵收費（如紐約最近實施的）是個開始，但還應(yīng)進行分區(qū)改革，允許更高密度、混合用途和步行友好社區(qū)
Growing up in America you basically dont get to participate in society until youre 16 and thats if your parents can afford extra cars. Its pretty ridiculous quite frankly. Parents are quick to ridicule their kids for spending too much time inside but they cant really go anywhere on their own.
在美國長大，基本要到16歲才能參與社會活動，前提是父母能負擔(dān)額外車輛。這太荒謬了。父母總嘲笑孩子宅在家，但他們自己卻無處可去
Yes more of this! We need to spread the word and help others understand that making cities more walkable and increasing mass transit capabilities are a net positive for everyone, including us car drivers.
沒錯！我們需要傳播理念，讓更多人明白建設(shè)步行友好城市和提升公交能力對所有人都是凈收益，包括我們開車的人
Well done!Thank you so much for producing this fabulously informative video. I'll be sharing it with my Active Towns Community here on YouTube as well as on lixedIn and Bluesky. Would love to push the views into the millions on this one. Cheers! John
做得好！感謝制作這么棒的信息視頻。我會將它分享給我的Active Towns社區(qū)，以及在lixedIn和Bluesky上。希望能將播放量推到百萬！約翰敬上
You cannot fix the transportation issue in America without also tackling housing....it goes hand in hand
不解決住房問題就別想改善美國交通……兩者密不可分
I've never been mugged by a fellow passenger in my own car. No one has ever shot heroin or overdosed in my car. Homeless people have never peed on the floor of my car while I'm driving to work. Etc. I love taking public transport in Asia, where it's clean and safe. Every time I have to use it in America, I regret it. It's an awful experience. Maybe fix that before chastising people for wanting to avoid it.
我開車從沒被同乘者搶劫，沒人在我車上吸毒過量，流浪漢也沒在我上班路上尿過車座。我愛亞洲的干凈安全公交，但在美國用一次都后悔，真是糟糕體驗。與其責(zé)怪人們想避免，不如先改善公交
I'm so glad I made the decision to move into the city and now rarely ever have to use my car. The freedom of being able to get to everything I want without being a slave to my automobile is priceless.
真高興搬到城市，現(xiàn)在幾乎不用開車。擺脫汽車奴役的自由無價

How are you supposed to ride a bus or train during a pandemic?

Europe is very condensed and most countires in there are very small hance why it's much easier to make public trans and everything is much closer. US is huge compared to European countries and everything is more spread out. Walking friendly cities will still take you forever to get somewhere because again everything is more spread out. What we really need is high speed rail infrastructure the likes of Japan, but because of so many people have ownership of the land and don't want to give it up makes this project very challenging because lots of rail lines would have to go through private lands etc...including other reasons
歐洲國家密集且面積小，所以公共交通易建且設(shè)施近。美國幅員遼闊，什么都分散。步行友好城市仍需長途跋涉。我們真正需要的是日本式高鐵網(wǎng)絡(luò)，但因土地私有制導(dǎo)致項目艱難——許多鐵路線需穿過私人土地，其他原因也很多
Of course, having trains is not so profitable for the private market. then they convince the population to have a car, and even given to that propriety a mystical significance, but i think the northamerican begun to wake up of that ilussion.
火車對私營市場確實不賺錢。于是他們蠱惑民眾將汽車視為必需品甚至信仰。不過北美正逐漸覺醒
Hats off to you for summarizing the issue of North American car dependency well!
致敬你們對北美汽車依賴問題的精辟總結(jié)！
Theres a lot of America where cars are the only thing that makes sense.

Before war, America was trams country. Then automotive after war told everyone they need a car.
戰(zhàn)前美國是電車國度，戰(zhàn)后汽車業(yè)說服人們必須擁有汽車
America needs to invest in more metro lines in all its big cities. The traffic congestion is unsustainable.
美國需在大城市投資更多地鐵線路，交通擁堵不可持續(xù)
I didn't know Australia had its own Golden Gate Bridge!
我不知道澳大利亞有自己的金門大橋！
To be fair, America is huge; this country is the larger than many European countries combined. Many neighborhoods are relatively far away from work places (unless its a huge city or a small town). Having to travel a distance thatd take 30 minutes by car is saving more time than other such modes of transportation. We also have really weird weather; we can experience extreme heats and deadly colds. In short, there are a lot of reasons we drive a lot and given that the price of gas is unstable, just driving for fun isnt the only reason we do it.
說句公道話，美國太大了，面積超過許多歐洲國家總和。很多社區(qū)離工作地較遠（除非在大城市或小鎮(zhèn)）。開車30分鐘的路程比其他交通方式省時。我們還有奇葩天氣：極端高溫和嚴(yán)寒。總之，多種原因?qū)е挛覀兌嚅_車，油價不穩(wěn)也使得開車不只是為了玩樂
I am a car enthusiast but I think America only likes designing cities for cars, not people. My school is relatively close to me but I still can't walk or bike to school because the sidewalk can randomly end and the city is terrible at designing bike lanes. I hate that when you mention "bike lane" to an older person they will immediately think its a bad idea.
我是車迷，但覺得美國只設(shè)計適合汽車的城市，而非行人。學(xué)校離家近，但我還是無法步行或騎車上學(xué)——人行道突然中斷，城市規(guī)劃不善。最討厭的是提到自行車道時，老一輩立刻認為是壞主意
Buy a fun car and enjoy your commute. You can have your public transit, Im just not interested.

Public transit is slower because it is stuck in the same terrible traffic as all the cars are. If it had priority lanes it could be faster but people would freak out if a lane was taken away for transit users.
公交更慢是因為和汽車擠在同一條糟糕道路上。如果有專用道會快些，但人們會因為車道被占用而恐慌
For the amount of land that was used to build single-family houses, if they were built appartement buildings instead, you'll probably had built entirely new towns in the USA by now.
如果把獨棟住宅用地改建成公寓樓，美國可能已經(jīng)建起全新城鎮(zhèn)

I cant ride my bicycle to work because sidewalks abruptly end. The public library doesn't have sidewalks to get to it. Theres also this hilarious crosswalk where I work that has no sidewalks connected to either side. Why is America at war with walking/bicycling?
我騎自行車上班困難重重：人行道突然中斷，圖書館沒連人行道。上班處有個滑稽的人行橫道，兩側(cè)都沒人行道。美國為何與步行/騎行為敵？
Lets just say without cars, Costco would not have existed. Can you imagine doing your Costco haul and taking public transit?
說沒有汽車就沒有好市多。你能想象開著公共汽車搬好市多的貨嗎？
I tried the public transit alternative for a while. Among constant delays, drug use inside transit, inconsistency and crowded buses, I gave up when a guy was trying to slash people with a Katana inside transit. Ill spend extra and drive if it means I get home unsliced.
試過一段時間公交：延誤不斷、車內(nèi)毒品泛濫、班次不準(zhǔn)、擁擠不堪，最后還遇到有人在公交車上用武士刀砍人。我寧愿多花錢開車也要安全回家
The 'open' road is now some car commercial in the boonies or the desert with a $80,000 4x4 that will get damaged ..which will facilitate a warrenty denial from the manufacturer..as it is 'ABUSE'
所謂的"開放道路"不過是荒野沙漠里的汽車廣告，開上8萬美元的四驅(qū)車會損壞車輛，保修單直接拒賠——因為"濫用"

I had no idea how expensive highways were until moving to Japan and using the highways here. Cost is on par with the billet train
直到搬到日本使用高速公路才知道原來高速這么貴，費用堪比高鐵票
i'll keep my cars. If you want to make a walkable city fine, have at it. Don't try and rezone existing neighborhoods for high density housing with no parking , keep that and the crime rates it breeds in your walkable city. if you are not in the usa i am not making this comment to you.
我保留我的車。想建步行友好城市盡管來，但別動現(xiàn)有社區(qū)搞高密度無停車住宅區(qū)，那會滋生犯罪。我對不住非美國人
Selling my car was easily the best financial decision I've made in the past 10 years. No payment, no insurance, no parking, no gas, no maintenance, no depreciation. saves me hundreds of dollars per month
賣車是我過去十年最明智的財務(wù)決定。省去了月供、保險、停車、油費、保養(yǎng)、折舊，每月省下好幾百塊
Its weird to compare Europe and U.S., use a county with the same population density
拿歐洲和美國比不公平，應(yīng)該用同樣人口密度的地區(qū)比較
Just visited ten countries in Europe. I am all for public transport but let people have cars if they want. I still rather live here in the USA
剛在歐洲待過十國，支持公交但尊重他人選擇。我還是更愛美國
There is no conspiracy in it. The simple truth is that people want to stay in their private space and want less interaction with other humans as much as possible. That's how humans are made. China has a good public transportation system, but their cities are also becoming car centric as their EV industry is booming, so the truth is that Chinese people were commuting in public transportation not because they wanted but because they had no choice
沒有陰謀，只是人類天性渴望私人空間和減少人際互動。中國公交系統(tǒng)雖好，但隨著電動車產(chǎn)業(yè)爆發(fā)，城市也在汽車化。中國人使用公交并非自愿，而是無奈之舉
