It’s just unfortunate that the issue lies in general population. There are so many people in the United States that view car ownership as a status symbol, and the stigma around commuting via bus or bike is ingrained in the society, to the point that people would rather go into massive debt and break the law by skipping registration and insurance. EVEN if using the bus is as or more convenient then car ownership.
Yeah I just ignore the stigma. I was raised as a cyclist and many of my friends get around on bikes as well, so I never felt this in my own group of peers. I can take that on more easily than some people and hopefully make it a little easier on others.
