Why do people prefer cars over public transport? - Lemmy.world

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?

This is... not true in a lot of places.

Austin, TX. Takes me maybe half an hour to get across town in my car. Would take me two hours and three transfers to do the same by bus. Not saying the bus is bad by any means, just that the infrastructure isn’t built for public transport.

In rural America there is usually no public transportation options at all. There is literally no other option but to own a car
