    As a European, kids LOVE trams and trains. I do not know what they are talking about.

      A rideshare is the name of app summoned taxis, like Uber.

      The point is precisely that trains, trams and busses are infinitely more exciting than a plain car.

        I understand what they are trying to say, but maybe listening to children when it comes to complex issues isn’t maybe a good move. No child ever looked and said: wow Brokkoli, they would just eat some garbo from McDonald’s

          Uuh, 1) kids regularly love vegetables if they’re prepared right, and pretty often if they’re prepared wrong because kids are weird and will eat a bowl of corn and rice. 2) do you actually think they’re making the assertion we should let kids decide policy initiatives? Or that a billboard can’t make a joke when saying you should ride the train?

          I liked broccoli as a kid. Still do. My 10yo daughter loves broccoli and despises McDonald’s.

          My almost 2-year old son loves zucchini. When he sees it come out of the oven, he screams “KINI!!! KINNIHHHHHH!!!”
