Plus you can't speed up if you are running late. I missed a train by 5 minutes in Chicago, than I was told the next one was sold out. If I had been in a car I could have made that time up. The other problem was late because I was waiting in a long line at the airport to buy metro pas, only to complete a transaction for weekly pass for some confused Italian couple. Then seeing some guy get arrested at the Greyhound station for seemingly asking the wrong question, and getting told I was bamboozled for asking if I could still catch the bus home. Seeing other people getting treated horribly there. Then ended that miserable experience sitting 5 hours on the Megabus wheel well on an over night bus to get home. No thanks. I'd rather a root canal. People advocating for no cars, often ignore how terrible public transportation can be.
