I find driving more comfortable and generally enjoy it. Faster than a bus and no need to travel on their schedule. And you have transportation when you arrive at your destination. The privacy is nice as well. Not really social segregation but segregation from society. Driving long distances gives one the rare opportunity to really be alone with their thoughts.
