> This is again based on the premise that public transport costs time, rather than saves time or doesn't matter time wise. This is a reasonable premise. Because a car is point to point and public transport by definition is not. I agree it is possible to maneuver yourself into a situation where you live immediately next to the subway stop and your job is immediately next to the other subway stop. Public transport will save time then. But that's very rare and also a fragile setup because as soon as you change either home or job, it's no longer true. So for most people public transport means walking to the nearest stop, taking the subway/bus and then walking to the destination. So yes it takes more time.
