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?

In the US, public transit is almost universally unavailable. If it is available, it's a massive luxury (or strictly necessary, like NYC).
Agreed, the only cities that I've been to that had decent public transport were Chicago (The L) and New York City.
Seattle is decent til like 10pm and then it goes to shit.
