    Doesn’t some Disneyland parks ironically have shuttle buses going around their parking lots?

    Like, their parking lots are so big that getting to the entrance still requires taking a bus after leaving your car in the pile.

    If I ever visit one of those parks, it’ll be in Paris, where there is a train station just by the park.

      If only there was a way we could fit double the cars, maybe even triple in a smaller plot of land.

      I really don’t get how America survives with the lack of parking garages. It saves space, giving room to more nature. It saves walking, considering USians are generally considered less fit.

      All the large parking lots really bothered me when I was there. Most are empty most of the time, and look like post apocalyptic wasteland.

        America is so big that they basically waste money on their precious land without foresight. Empty plot of land with line is cheaper than a multistory parking garage, hence it’s an unwalkable hellscape most of the time. There’s tons of video talking about all these sprawl and minimum parking space.

      Lol I never really though of it like that. That is almost morbid, isn’t it?

      That system is more commonly used at airports throughout the US, and I believe it’s widespread internationally, too. Why the fuck don’t we just have frequently running trains that have a stop at airports? I know my local airport technically has a bus service, but they only move directly between there and downtown (an hour away) and only during specific times of day.
