Many people love their cars, I love my car too. I hate traffic though, everyone hates traffic. That’s the problem with everyone loving cars.
I love busses, bikes, and trains, so I use those as well.
- kjkjadksj 1y agoFeels like I am the only person patient enough to not mind traffic. “Soul crushing” who cares? I’m effectively sitting in a room with a hifi stereo unit like a lot of people do anyhow with their free time. Driving purely on subconscious autopilot. It is on you if you can’t make that work for a bit IMO. Crowded train is actually objectively unpleasant on the other hand. You have other peoples BO. The guy bringing in 50lbs of stuff strapped to the bike hits your knee. Another guy decides to smoke a cigarette in the train car or play with their blow torch. Everyone shoving you on the way in and out. Packed like a sardine. AC barely working. Elevators reeking of urine.
- ceejayoz 1y agoSurely that difference, therefore, is worth $9/day to you? Especially now that your commute is substantially shorter as a bonus?

Elevators reeking of urine. None of this is actually inherent to transit or inevitable. (Where do you live that people would even consider lighting up in an indoor, public place? That sounds more like the 80s to me than today.)
