I Gave Up My Car in the City. Now I Ride the Bus With Zombies and Remember Every Man I Failed. They told me cars were over. That in a modern city — a smart city — one simply walks, bikes, or takes the bus.
They said, “You’ll meet people.” They said, “You’ll see more.”
They didn’t say anything about the zombies.
It began when I sold the Corolla. A quiet, charcoal-gray compromise of a car. The man who bought it told me he’d use it to take his kids to soccer. I told him I was childless. He said, “Yeah, I figured.”
I tried walking to work. A man screamed at me outside a Rite Aid. He said my aura was corrupt and then offered me a grape.
I took it.
Public transit was supposed to be better. Cleaner. Smarter. But by Day 3, I was surrounded by the same five figures on every line:
A woman in a parka licking a tangerine
A man with seven phones taped to his chest
Two teens whispering in Sanskrit
And Him — the one who stared at me like he knew my passwords
They are not homeless, per se. They are stationed.
I call them “The Mahchine’s Witnesses.” They hum in sync with the bus engine. They know I no longer drive. They know everything.
I used to date. Men who wore loafers and had thoughts about zoning. They’d say things like, “I don’t need a car, I have legs.”
I believed them. Then I met one in person. He had a tote bag that said “Kill the Cul-de-Sac.” He ghosted me after I suggested splitting an Uber to Whole Foods.
He texted: “you’re not ready.”
Now I ride the 49 to nowhere. My MetroCard is cracked. I carry Lysol wipes in a sandwich bag.
Every morning, I choose between:
Zombies with Bluetooth speakers,
Civic shame,
And an electric scooter that once launched me into a fence.
I still chose the bus. Because I deserve it.
Why do we still allow cars in city centers?
Because not everyone can posture. Because the sidewalk isn’t always safe. Because some of us are gay, exhausted, and still believe in the sacred geometry of a well-maintained cupholder.

Truman passes a national healthcare system into law in the late 1940s if he doesn't alienate the Dixiecrats by desegregating the army.
Before Desegregation all major US cities had San Francisco style Streetcar systems & extensive public transportation. See the GM-Streetcar Controversy.
Public Transportation was intentionally gutted to create a form of de facto segregation. Robert Moses, who designed the Queens/Brooklyn/Long Island Highway system famously did so to curtail Public Buses from reaching certain regions. |

Date: May 7th, 2025 12:02 PM Author: .,.,,...,...,..,....,...,...,... For starters, there are maybe 3-4 American cities where you can survive without a car even if you live and work in the city center. And a car is basically an absolute necessity if you have kids unless you want to try to get your 10-year-old to and from school and several after-school activities on the subway or bus.
And I say this as one who is a major proponent of public transportation and other alternative forms of transportation and as one who hates driving. I would love to live in a place where I don't need a car, and I think American cities should do a better job of planning so that cars are not an absolute necessity. Americans waste a fortune on gas and lost productivity sitting in traffic that could be prevented with a much smaller investment in public transport and bike lanes. But I also recognize that redesigning American cities to reduce the need for cars would be enormously expensive and controversial, and I also recognize that there is no realistic alternative to owning a car anywhere in the country if you have kids. |
