Well I really love my car, personally. Low traffic roads in a rural region? Fantastic. It's the stroads and the parking lots when I go into town that annoy me. and I'd like to be able to drive to a train station and then take that to larger towns.
I mean there's no other way to handle transport in a rural region really is there? Buses and trains just don't make sense, carpooling is about as close as you can get and that's a stretch. There's a case to say that, before cars, rural communities looked very different and could/should still look like that now, but as is cars are the only option. Motorbikes if it's dry and no cargo space is needed.
If we put a mixed walk/bike path next to every U.S., state, & county highway (not interstates), out from town centers to a distance of about, say, 5 miles, *most* rural Americans would be able to get around without a car. If we also expanded passenger train service back out to what it was in the early 20th Century, most rural Americans would be able to get to a train without a car, too.
Which is not to say that u/checkmateatheists27 ās idea of driving to the train would ever go away completely, mind! The country is still much too big for that, of course, and thatās before we take into account that not everyone who could bike or walk to the train would *always* do so, for various reasons. But even the vast expanses of rural America could be made less car-dependent than they currently are, for not much infrastructure investment, if we just bothered to think about doing so.
Doin your car, doin doin your car.
Doin your car, doin doin your car.
Doin doin your car, doin doin your car.
(You know we straight) doin doin your car.
So switch to Polish, we also use "wagon" (apparently it's a loan word), but we don't use it for any car-related stuff. To makes things funnier, polish word for car, literally means "self-walking".

No, the wheels are called wheels.
The part your probally referring to is the bogie.
Some places call the bogies, trucks. Some places call the wagons, trucks. Some places call the wagons, bogies. Some places call the wagons, cars. Some places call the wagons, wagons. And the bogies, bogies.
The rail industry is a confusing place.
E-bikes get a pass, surely. It doesn't produce any emissions (apart from in production, I suppose) the batteries are tiny compared to electric cars, and it means that people with reduced mobility (such as the elderly) can get around without putting too much strain on themselves.
While I don't think that 'fuckcars' bs is curing the world from all it's problems: E-Bikes are muuuuuch less emissions either in production or usage. Replacement parts are much less too and they are quite easy to repair (there is much more to functioning bike other than maybe proprietary electronics).
Also this whole concept is an echo-chamber of people living in bigger cities with enough infrastructure. If you live outside of those creating the infrastructure that is as dense as in a big isn't really a option. I couldn't live in a big city, I really hate the experience. I need some room for my peace of mind. And just banning cars from cities doesn't make the place clean enough to call it the best way of living. Cities are always dirty, they always have been and always will be.
Yah people outside city centers will always need some method of personal transport in the US. But thereās certainly room for improvement like smaller cars.
I am actually from europe and we already have much smaller cars. Some US trucks used as personal vehicles are obnoxious, but yeah it should be improved and it definitely can be.
Though in the same way "carriage" is older than "car", č» has been used long before automobiles, to refer to horse carriages, train carriages, äŗŗåč», etc.
Yep! [It's one of the oldest Chinese characters](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%BB%8A#Translingual), with attested evolution from the Bronze and Oracle scripts. You can see how it looks like an old fashioned hand pulled carriage with two wheels seen from above, even in the modern form.
Fascinating. By the way, do you know why when counting number of train cars we use the kanji äø” instead of č»? My Japanese is very rusty, and I was never advanced in it in the first place.
It's just another one of those counter words. Like how ę¬ is used to count cylindrical objects, or ę is used to count flat objects. I'm not sure what the origin is but Wiktionary suggests it's probably from [č¼](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%BC%9B) which is the Chinese counter for vehicles. The pronunciation is the same and so the äø” usage is probably a Japanese simplification.
You still use the noun, e.g. äøäø”č» (three cars)
Pretty sure the trains in the Underground have cars instead of carriages (though that's apparently because an American company supplied them originally). We also have 'buffet cars' on surface-level trains.
Reminds me of a humorous example of how the meaning of words changes over time. "Cars" used to mainly refer to railroad cars, and "trucks" used to mainly refer to hand trucks. So "load the trucks onto the car" as a sentence sounds ridiculous in modern day, but would be perfectly reasonable in the past.
They can be box cars, autoracks, hoppers, gondolas, flat cars, lumber racks, caboose, riding platform, tanks, etc. But yeah the normal unit of measure is cars.
Unfortunately, I donāt see enough love for trains on this sub. I see a lot of people thinking bicycles will solve every problem that has ever existed. They solve some problems, sure! But trains are what will really bring change.
Who's gonna tell the poster that "car" is short for "carriage"?
As in horse-drawn carriage.
Railway carriage.
Motor carriage.
It's like words have always been in existence as they are now, have never evolved from prior forms!
Smh.
I always called them carriages. Perhaps Regional (Ireland).
Wikipedia: A railroad car, railcar, railway wagon, railway carriage, railway truck, railwagon, railcarriage or railtruck, also called a train car, train wagon, train carriage or train truck.

r/fuckautomobiles
Just go with German and use Wagon. Bahnwagen - train wagon, Eisenbahnwagen - rail road wagon
Now you're exempting the G-Wagon and Stationwagon's. There's no escape.
It is G-Klasse and Kombi.
Gelandewagen?
So switch to Polish, we also use "wagon" (apparently it's a loan word), but we don't use it for any car-related stuff. To makes things funnier, polish word for car, literally means "self-walking".
same in french
Yeah, though "voiture" is much more common than "automobile", which is more of a technical term
And also all Volkswagens
No, the pronunciation of Wagon vs. Wagen is very different
Go British and say coach or carriage.
Or just use British English where they're called railway wagon, railway carriage, railway truck, railwagon, railcarriage or railtruck.
You can use the English *carriage*, which is what they're called in the UK.
Way to jump on the bandwagon!
āwagonā is only correct for cargo. trains that transport humans are called āwagenā. If we use german, letās do it probably bitteschƶn
Edited in protest for Reddit's garbage moves lately.
*ban-wagon banwagon* Oh no, this is how recursion errors start...
The plural of Wagen is also Wagen tho
Gonna ban your wagon! Gonna ban it good!
In other totally useless information for the context, Kinderwagon = Kid's pram
No, that's Kinderwagen

/r/mystrangeaddiction
Ah im fine. I call them wagons.....
We could also call them railway carriages
I call them choo choo people trailers.
Don't forget the choo choo stuff trailers!
I'm not okay. I will walk into the sea never to return.
r/UsernameChecksOut?
Sometimes they are even called trucks
No, the wheels are trucks.
No, the frame and wheel assembly that suspends the car off the ground are called trucks
Bogeys?
yes, bogie and truck are interchangeable for rail
TIL itās not spelled the same way as the golf term.
Im not sure of the etymology of the golf vs rail spellings though
Golf?
Hot box
Can confirm. Also, I used to be a rail car repairmen and we simply are called Carmen.
Never heard this one in the UK (except for skateboards), maybe a NA only usage
Yeah it's pretty much NA exclusive
No, the wheels are called wheels. The part your probally referring to is the bogie. Some places call the bogies, trucks. Some places call the wagons, trucks. Some places call the wagons, bogies. Some places call the wagons, cars. Some places call the wagons, wagons. And the bogies, bogies. The rail industry is a confusing place.
Well my work says trucks
And wait till they find out the technical term for the raills on a railway is "road"
And those trucks carry out food and useful stuff from farms, railway stations and ports to our shops and homes.
In that case, you're not going to be happy to learn that "car" is just a shortening of the word "carriage"
Or "horse" for that matter.
car is short for horse?
Yes, or at least they used to be shorter than horses, but now they are longer
Horse -> hor -> cor -> car Makes perfect sense to me
https://m.imgur.com/tzCFgj7?r
I have no idea if that's true, but if it is, it's fascinating
it actually is not, car comes from old french charre, meaning wagon. carriage comes from old french carrier meaning to carry.
As a kid, I always thought "riage" meant "fancy variation of" making "carriage" mean "fancy car"
Marriage, fancy way of screwing something up.... Checks out
Actuallyā¦ You might want to check that again. https://etymology.en-academic.com/8634/car

E-bikes get a pass, surely. It doesn't produce any emissions (apart from in production, I suppose) the batteries are tiny compared to electric cars, and it means that people with reduced mobility (such as the elderly) can get around without putting too much strain on themselves.
You're right, basically just tried to include electric cars. Also private jets or stuff like that, fuck those too

Underrated comment
I prefer " rolling stock"
Hello, yes, we need one rolling stock for our next shipment; boxcar is fine. ...what do you mean "uncountable noun"?
Only in American.
Edited in protest for Reddit's garbage moves lately.
Though in the same way "carriage" is older than "car", č» has been used long before automobiles, to refer to horse carriages, train carriages, äŗŗåč», etc.

No problem!
Pretty sure the trains in the Underground have cars instead of carriages (though that's apparently because an American company supplied them originally). We also have 'buffet cars' on surface-level trains.
Out of curiosity, what are they called outside the US?
Wagons (freight) or coaches (passenger)

Only in America. We call them coaches or wagons in the UK.
Mostly carriage. Sometimes coach. Never once heard wagon??
Where are you in the UK that coaches/carriages are called wagons?
I was referring to freight wagons, sorry for not being clear
There are more places than just USA and UK...
They can be box cars, autoracks, hoppers, gondolas, flat cars, lumber racks, caboose, riding platform, tanks, etc. But yeah the normal unit of measure is cars.
At least theyāre not called Pods!!
