These days it's a choice between riding in your own air conditioned car that goes when and where you want it to, and plays the music you wanna hear, vs. some depressing bus or train you have to wait for, amid noise, filth, and people spitting on the ground, while you hope the bus/train is running on time, you can find a seat, you don't get mugged, and none of your stuff gets stolen.
Responding to old post......
Pretty much the second paragraph. And I live across the street from a Bus Line, and can walk to the Light Rail in a half an hour, or wait for the Bus to take me there. The Bus described in the second paragraph is in the city, not really out here in the burbs.
I have been using a car for months, but cycle around with frequency.
If folks can afford to drive ya know what they do?
