I live in Europe and I can't imagine not owning a car. My city has quite good public transportation, but the flexbility and independence of car wins all the time. Using bus+train it takes me 1h to get to work one way, while by car it takes me 15m, additionally I do grocery shopping and other things on the way home. Time saving isn't however the major reason, but the feeling that I can go whenever I want, wherever I want.
- more_original 11y agoFair enough. What you describe sounds much like I feel about bikes. Taking the bus and train to work takes over 30 minutes, while the bike ride is just 10 minutes. Going by car would certainly take more than 10 minutes here. Someone once said to me that he feels amputated without a bike, which really hits the nail on the head.
- atirip 11y agoI live in Europe and i own a car, but don't use it to commute. It takes 10 minutes by bus and 15+ by car. Plus it takes min 10 EUR a day to park my car in the city. And the bus is free.
