About

One More Lane Bro also known as One More Lane Will Fix It refers to a catchphrase used to denounce public infrastructure policies that prioritize low-impact highway expansions over public transport expansions. The line "one more lane will fix it" was first used on Twitter to react to news footage of bumper to bumper traffic in Los Angeles over Thanksgiving weekend, 2019. The quote subsequently evolved into a variation of the Bro Please Bro, Just Try It snowclone.

pls give me a train or a bus. I have too much anxiety to drive but I don't want to be stuck at home all day and rely only on family members to transport me. I don't want to have to get an uber every time I want to go out.
