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?
If I want to go somewhere in a car, I get in my car and go there.
If I want to go somewhere using public transport, I have to walk to the nearest stop, wait for the transport to arrive, wait in the transport to take an inefficient route to the closest stop to the destination, then walk from the stop to the destination.
Basically, a 10 minute drive becomes an hour long ordeal.
this. also for those of us that live in the suburbs things are so spread out (even moreso for people that live in rural areas) that it simply doesn’t make public transport feasible. Basically, public transport is really only feasible in cities, where everything is much closer together.
Do you ride a bike?
I do! I’m an avid cyclist and ride whenever I can.
