Driving, I gather, used to carry connotations of fun, romance, freedom, and prosperity. For me, today, it's more likely to evoke the opening scene of Office Space. The experience sucks, it's expensive, and it feels more like an obligation than an accomplishment. Taking the bus almost feels like a no-brainer in the same way that I'm apparently expected to feel that owning a car is a no-brainer.
