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?
Depends where you live to be honest. Here in the Netherlands everyone i know, and this is not an exaggeration, prefers to travel by public transport when it’s available instead of car, or by bike for smaller distances. They would only use a car if they need to go somewhere far away that’s not very accessible by public transport. But even then you have busses that go in every small rural town, although they are not as frequent and I believe a lot of times they do not go on weekends.
Personally, I have also never felt the need to get a car and I will always pick public transport over car. It’s cheap, convenient, fast and reliable. But if there is no other alternative then you don’t have a choice.
One last thing i would like to mention is that I see a lot of people in this thread, but also in general, that they say they prefer a car because it’s faster. The thing is, that if you get stuck in a traffic jam, with all the other like minded people, then it’s not faster at all.
