I agree that those that are the loudest are the ones that never pick it up anyway. You can ask them directly on “the line” and they will admit as such, or usually brag about it without being asked. I disagree that it’s because they are commuters. DOTC has made PM super easy for commuters. More likely they don’t understand it, how it benefits them, how to do it, etc. or they think it involves lots of work sitting at a computer. These are often the same folks that complain incessantly about PBS, yet 99% of their problem is user error. Highly entertaining at least.
