I lived in a Canadian city with the worst public transit. I found it so frustrating that I couldn't even leave the city without owning a car. No bus, no train.

I lived in a Canadian city with the worst public transit. I found it so frustrating that I couldn't even leave the city without owning a car. No bus, no train. Nothing. Living in Tokyo I can take the train or bus to the beach, mountain, a forest. It's wonderful and does wonders for my mental health. Access to all the beautiful nature in Canada is restricted to those with cars.
