Electric Transportation

It is nice that services like Lime and Bird have Scooters for fast efficient transportation in the city.

These services do not prevent you from bringing your own helmet, that said they do not provide one by default. Seems like a helmet added might be viewed as potential for increased infection or less clean. A helmet that might be less clean might convoluted the sell thus potentially divested from in advance.

I like the services are available though might create a bit of less than ideal conditions. People might not be familiarized with laws of the city. Riding on roads that are slower are likely less dangerous yet getting on bigger roads with insufficient speed is likely possible (I know I could go to the side walk, others new to riding might not realize that – hard to think fast in new conditions).

That said cheaper transportation for the less fortunate like those that do not have cars matters. Humanity should be promoted to value Human life greater, yet at times, and I think we all have the potential for doing so, what is More value for Human life has potential to be called into question. No transportation might lead to stuck on street in cold weather, which might be more likely to kill or hurt someone than a fall that might or might not happen on a street due to a scooter. Reduced Throughput is problematic in not fully appreciated ways, thus less than ideal throughput like that without helmets is valued higher.

Society tends towards this, High Voltage lines are dangerous, yet the off chance society won’t have capacity to maintain high voltage is replaced with the need to keep lights on, electricity in hospitals, and air conditioning. No Air Conditioning in Texas has potential for fatal consequences like heat stroke, and has had a non ideal precedent for being ideally invested in at least in my opinion. Extreme cost for electricity bills have potential to cause problems in other directions AC, no food, and 110 degree heat has potential to mess with the mind in not full appreciated ways, combined with lack of transportation has potential to lead to feeling of trapped.

Scooters and E-Bike rental services banned due to No Helmets and lack of adequate comprehension of laws seems like it would be more of a problem specially in climates that have issues like severe heat and cold then banning the services. Thus Society knowingly allows less helmets and lack of adequate comprehension amplification and that actually equals higher value of life, still not ideal, yet definitely a bit confusing in my opinion.

Cheap helmet options that people will wear matters, seems like it might be imperative on cities that allow cheap scooter and e-bike services to have a nearby helmet shop where cheap affordable breathable helmets would be common. Going the extra mile factors into success or failure in business likely not always appreciated, yet forcing the startups to be the ideal delivers seems like it might be to big of a burden. Maybe There could be local Dart Shops with Cheap Helmets (I live in Dallas and Dart is our Rail and Bus transportation service).

Cheap Transportation is huge, adding more Bike and Scooter lanes, equals fast efficient cheap transportation (I think I read charging my E-bike only cost ten cents total for allot of range). Better roads and lanes without pot holes has potential to lead to far better use of those systems. People with less to spend on transportation, and those that invest in green technologies to both more respected and more protected in society requires investment in both resources and comprehension amplification of value and possible complications.

All this said cars and a full protective cage is likely much more protective of people. All people do not have capacity to afford cars and society has shown less than ideal precedent for enabling all to have cars and effective transportation. Thus society in 2023 claims to care about the environment, the poor, those that use other forms of transportation than cars yet the delivery equals E-Scooters that are available with less than ideal distribution of Helmets. More Scooters and E-Bikes is likely less than ideal tests out for Car drivers – changing things up with potential for more slow downs equals potential for greater anger management tests. “Why is that biker in front of me riding with no helmet and going so slow” likely thought more than once, likely not always vocalized. Increasing potential liability, loss of life for drivers consciousness is less than ideal stress reduced.

I also think cheaper Dart passes could be available. A $3.00 PM pass is pretty nice, yet might be nicer to have $3.00 be the whole day pass and $1.50 be the PM pass, with potentially $50 cents for a 2 hour ride. More cheaper options could factor into greater mobility, and a work force more enabled with better access to transportation is far from all value out. Cheaper transportation where one doesn’t have to drive likely could enable those with health problems that might prevent them from driving as well. Accessibility matters and amplifies far less than ideally in society – more options, cheaper options all factor into greater likelihood for throughput.

Throughput has potential to factor into greater GDP, and more enabled companies. More people working likely has potential for equating to more people enabled and off the street, more oversight for potential problems at times in society. Work has potential to reinforce good qualities like desire to help others, appreciation for throughput and customer service, requirement for inclusion in discussion, foster more practice with effective communication that might not always be fully valued for the value creation that it provides to society.

My thoughts on the matter, negate my thoughts or even perception and comprehension amplify ideally, and I have other thoughts that are not fully versed because I realize there are many special cases that might apply in some situations not all situations.

One other thing I have noticed lately in Dallas is the smell of Marijuana more. I have smelled on the streets which might equal more drivers smoking and driving. I have also smelled it more on trains which is very problematic as I see children on the train as well, and from my understanding children’s developing brains have the potential to be hurt by marijuana. I do not have the desire to be judge and jury on drugs that might be greater throughput and less pain for some and at the same time I don’t want children of the city or those trying to utilize public transportation to be hurt by second hand smoke. People might think legalization of Marijuana might be useful yet people do not always consider secondary effects like second hand smoke and a society less enabled to operate heavy machinery.

Alcohol is legal does not equal alcohol has shown precedent for always being utilized in responsible ways for society might call into the question of how legalization would amplify within society. Prohibition did not work, that said, imagine if alcohol was in a vapor that could effect the brains of all those on a train, or in public areas, seems like it would amplify less than ideally within society. Stress added for potential loss of work and freedom through drug tests that lead to positives just for breathing air on a train seems less than always ideal or sufficient. Many others likely have these concerns in society but might not always feel like they have the ability to voice them.

Marijuana, E-Scooter, and No Helmet has high potential for amplifying at some point, can we as a society say we sufficiently care about preventing by our systemic design choices? Better matters, we should not set better to ideally better, might leave insufficient room for forgiveness and grace in my opinion.

This post will likely add value in some ways. Set to will add value in all necessary directions or account for all possible scenarios would be incorrect. Adding to discussion does not equate to I am ideally adding to the discussion or even have the possibility to know what the requirement would be for ideally adding to the discussion. I mean it to highlight some concerns as I see them, likely many others have other concerns that I might not perceive or comprehend thus others invited into the discussion and enabled to vocalize their opinions matters and has shown a precedent for amplify far less than ideally at least from what I have seen in my personal life experience. Voices that matter are not being adequately represented should not be set to zero consequence.
