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?

Public transportation (the buses at least) takes twice as long as a bicycle where I live and bicycling takes twice as long as a car. That's it, that's why I still drive a car. Also it's really difficult to move my kid and her stuff 10 miles to school.
