Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 5 months. The 9-minute rule is underrated. Public transit stories are secretly sociology stories

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. The low-effort version is probably the keeper

I wanted to like this, but the side argument is weak. The São Paulo example makes it feel concrete

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing
