Jason Slaughter, producer of the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes, is a pretty cool and talented guy. He\u2019s created multiple excellent videos on Strong Towns ideas, taking our written words and translating them through his own voice into visual representations. A lot of our dedicated members have discovered us through Not Just Bikes\u2019 compelling videos.\xa0\nIn this episode, Chuck welcomes Jason back onto the Strong Towns Podcast, where they discuss one of his recent videos, \u201cAmerica Always Gets This Wrong (when building transit).\u201d\xa0\nU.S. and Canadian transit systems disrespect the people who use them. Most of the time, public transit is a hassle, it\u2019s impractical, and it doesn\u2019t make sense to use when transit routes take much longer than a car ride. The millions of dollars that are spent on our transit systems seem to go to waste when land use is not considered during the construction process.\xa0\nIn this podcast, Jason and Chuck go more in depth about some of the absurdities of our modern transit system and the urban deserts they tend to drop riders off at\u2014bringing to light some reasons why people don\u2019t want to use public transit. They debunk the reasons some DOTs use for why we can\u2019t have better transit, and what the process for building efficient public transportation systems should look like.\nBonus: Jason describes a time he and his kids used the transit system where he lives in Europe.\xa0\nADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES\n\nNot Just Bikes (YouTube).\n\n\nCheck out Not Just Bikes\u2019 livestreams on YouTube and Twitch!\n\n\nSupport Jason through his Patreon.\n\n\nJason (Twitter / Reddit).\n\n\nCharles Marohn (Twitter).
