I don't consider bashing a toxic-unsustainable transport culture unsubstantive.

What makes it unsubstantive is the low signal/noise ratio of your own comment. Happening to be right, such as when criticizing something evil or dumb, doesn't by itself add to that.

Also, you've posted a lot of these unsubstantive comments. Could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and take the spirit of this site more to heart? We'd be grateful. These other links also might help:
