        And then what? I get fired because I can’t get to work since my city’s transit sucks? Train and bus lines don’t magically appear at will.

          No. Your options (you can choose multiple at the same time):

          1. You get an ebike.
          2. You move closer to work.
          3. You get a job closer to home.
          4. You lobby your city to fix their shit.

          You wouldn’t be the only person in this predicament if this happened so you would have lots of support to apply political pressure. But don’t worry. It’s never going to happen in your third world shithole country.

            1. Can’t afford it.
            2. Can’t afford it.
            3. Can’t afford it.
            4. Don’t have the time (see above).

            Thanks for the brilliant ideas that I’ve certainly never thought of.

              What do you mean you’re not in the financial position to just change your entire life around because of a lack of money? That’s just ludicrous, i move house every Monday morning so my commute is only half the distance during the week and move back to my sea side house for the weekend.

              All by design but if you can’t afford an ebike then you definitely can’t afford a car (just the fuel alone).
