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?

    Public transit is the slowest option everywhere I’ve lived(cities from 5k to 500k population).

    Disturbed people, smelly people, loud music, unwelcome conversation, fights, and urine/food/filth on the seating has also made public transit a last resort for me.

    Driving and all it’s privileges is an absolute pleasure when you don’t live in too big a city.
