A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

I don't know anyone who would claim the bus is "popular".

I think they're making the point that in lots of places where public transit is good, people use it just because they then don't have to deal with traffic and driving themselves.

The bus is popular. Here in the Netherlands they are used loads.
