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?
The bus in my town arrives every 90 minutes. For my usual 13 minute drive to the grocery store, it would take 52 minutes according to Google Maps. That’s IF I somehow found myself at the pickup(3 miles from my house), boarded right away, and hopped right back on after shopping. We’re a family of 4, so how many groceries would I be carrying through this ordeal? Probably more than I’d prefer. It’s just not feasible in rural America, and incredibly inefficient.
