For the record, I spent the first 19 years of my life using public transportation and walking for kilometers on end. While I still don't mind walking and do so for half an hour every day (15 minutes to the parking lot and back), I have traumas from using public transportation, being squeezed like a sardine, having my personal space invaded by smelling, sweaty people and almost getting a heat stroke in the Summer in 40 C trams and buses while being elbowed in the ribs.
But you are right, I'll gladly help advocate public transportation to everyone so I can drive in peace on the roads.
- _pmf_ 7y agoSame. The thought of having to use public transport again (even for a short term when my car is in the workshop) gives me flashes of anxiety.
- Annatar 7y agoI own multiple cars, in part for exactly such a situation (N + 1 redundancy, just like I design computer systems). Luckily, taking my car to the shop is rare, as I have the requisite knowledge and wrench on my cars myself.
