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?
Sometimes there’s no direct public transportation route. I’m in NYC and to get to Queens I have to go through another borough. Or I could do a half hour drive.
Sometimes you just don’t want to deal with the crowds. I have an invisible health issue which can make it hard to stand on a bus or train.
I take public transport whenever possible. But I’m not going to say it would be easy to give up cars.
