Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating
(feddit.org)
This does unfortunately happen multiple times per day. Sometimes it’s smaller incidents where the tram driver can get out and collapse the car’s mirror. Other times the owner of the car comes out of a nearby house after the tram used its bell extensively (like today) and moves the car. And then there are times when police needs to get involved to tow the car which often takes upwards of 1 hour.
The truly infuriating part is that if the tram damages a poorly parked car, the transportation company will have to pay the damages. Poorly parked vehicles never get fined and the owners will only need to pay if the car ends up getting towed.
Why do we accept that drivers sabotage a city’s public transport infrastructure like this?
Encouraging more law enforcement on Lemmy? Never thought I'd see the day.
You're confused because your thinking stops at "law enforcement always bad" and goes no further whilst most people here are 2 or 3 levels above that, thinking "how do we use the tools we have to make things better for most people".
You're mentally operating at a simplistic superficial level of "thing X good, thing Y bad" like a child, which is of course insuficient to understand the logical conclusions of those operating at the level of Principles ("what should be done which is best for the greatest number").
Mind you, populists just looove people who think like you do because they're so easy to give the run-around.
Completely unnecessary ad hominem, which happens to be completely incorrect because you lept to conclusions about me based on a tiny joke comment.
Go fuck yourself.
