I don't think 'not dealing with other people' really applies to driving. You're still dealing with people, but now they're in large machines that can quickly kill you if the other person is on their phone, drunk, angry or just plain bad at driving. Public transit is generally safer and less costly when you start taking into account accidents and injuries resulting from them. There's also the immense value of being freed from having to focus on the road, which gives you the ability to multitask and read, write code etc. I used to do just that back when I rode the bus to and from college.
