I think these buses are more than 300k, but anyway T mentioned.

Sweet. I get picked up by a $35 million vehicle with almost 10,000 horsepower, multiple employees, and a restaurant on board. Usually very punctual and never stuck in traffic.
Meanwhile, the AMT in the Montreal area:
Ah, lucky. I love the $35 million dollar, 10k horsepower vehicle. Mine didn’t have a food car but train commutes are my favorite commutes. The Providence line was cursed though, always getting stuck or trolled by another train and therefore delayed. For hours sometimes :(
I used to ride that line too.
Any hint of precipitation and you’d be sitting for hours.
And I was a reverse commuter.
I’d occasionally ride my bike back home and drive when it rained.
The hybrid 12m buses cost 800k USD here, after fleet pricing. They are not cheap.
Sheik’s son studies in Prague. He writes a letter home, saying: “I’m sad to see my favorite professor commute by tram while I’m driven around in a Mercedes.” A week later, a check for €3M comes with the note: “Go buy yourself a tram too.”
It really is a shame how expensive private trains are
The number used to be way lower when the joke was created. I think T3 trams were being made still
This joke was good the first time I saw it
for me, it’s good right now, as this is is the first time I’m seeing it!
You are lucky!
hell yeah!
also, thank you for editing, I was confused initially, haha!
I hope you enjoyed the comic! I’ll be more careful in the future when posting links!
i did! thank you :)
example.com is my favorite xkcd
I feel so dumb for failing to post the link, but I also feel very proud that a fellow blahaj.zone user got the reference ❤️
(I laughed hard for your comment!)
Did you forget to include the actual URL?
lmao I feel so dumb… I did it without thinking, in autopilot mode :D I should have checked
Btw the link I wanted to share was https://xkcd.com/1053/ (I also edited my previous comment)
Jesus this was the most hilarious mistake I’ve made in a while :D
Is that really a car?
My sister insists her SUV which gets to skirt around environmental rules because it’s classified as a light truck is a “car”. That’s pushing it, I think. This bus is a motor vehicle, but it has more wheels than a car, and carries far more passengers than a car. It doesn’t have to follow the same safety regulations that cars do (although it has some regulations of its own).
Well, it’s a carriage, that’s what car means. It’s also self moving which also makes it an automobile which is also colloquially a car.
We can probably take this further, a group of cars in train may also count as a tram if they travel down a tramway or trolleyway. We just need to find a gap in the rail schedule and a few people we trust to drive close together enough to be called “cars in train”…
Well, it’s a carriage, that’s what car means
No, it isn’t.
It’s also self moving which also makes it an automobile which is also colloquially a car.
No, there are subtle differences between “automobile” and “car”.
Red 600hp vehicle!
I mean if you can afford to live in Boston you must be doing pretty good.
the secret is living way the hell out of the city and spending 1+ hour commuting in on the 300k vehicles that pick you up
You pay for a twice daily ride share? Damn, big spender!
My city went fare free during COVID and managed to get a grant to stay that way 5 more years as a pilot. Super cool and feels like living in the future and I take it everywhere if I can.
Ah you got to the “so rich people give you stuff for free” kind of wealthy.
