I’m 25 and I don’t have a drivers license. I mean, I’ve never really felt the need to go and get one. Public transport is usually the fastest option where I live, and it takes a lot less responsibility to use it.
But most people would still prefer driving, rather than using the public T. Why?
@clueless_stoner [American perspective]
This country has been built around cars for at least the past 70 years. All of our infrastructure is optimized towards cars. Public transit has been (some would say intentionally) held back to further encourage people to invest in cars and perpetuate the cycle.
I’m a driving enthusiast, but there’s so much driving that could be rendered unnecessary with just an iota of added bike infrastructure.
Also, busses suck. Light rail is the way to go.
