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?
A city that cares about public transport will think about and prioritise the reliability of it even during construction. Here in Zurich for example, there’s things like traffic lights where bus lanes end so buses can beat the traffic, and any time there is construction the public transport is accounted for.
