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?
I always feel like these posts come from people who’ve only ever lived in a city. I’d love to catch a bus sometimes but I’d have to bike an hour to the nearest stop and even then it likely won’t stop where I need to go. In some parts of the US at least, it’s literally impossible to only use public transportation. So you buy a car and if you move somewhere with good public transportation…you’ve already got a car and are used to the freedom anyway
Also the US is very large geographically so if you have to travel often it makes far more financial sense (not to mention saves a lot of time) to get a car
