Public Transportation or Driving?

[Turtle / Eli]

For those that both drive and take public transportation, which do you prefer? Personally, I prefer public transportation considering I take less ♥♥♥♥ from people, where on the road I constantly have to go through people that don't know what they are doing on the road, and honk them to get them to pay attention while driving lol.....

Can't drive so public transport.

I dunno, I've never tried public.

Unless school busses count, I guess. Technically publicly-funded.

For me?

Driving.

Back in college when commuting into Los Angeles from outside of Los Angeles, it is faster and cheaper to drive than taking the train and buses, and a lot safer not having to worry about getting stabbed or mugged or stepping on needles, and much cleaner not having to smell pee and puke all the time from drug addicts and hobos.

I had to commute 50 miles each way in a car that got about 25mpg. Train and bus passes cost over $22+ per day. I was only using about $8-$12 in gas for the same trip. And every time some train derailed or got sued, the ticket prices would go up.

The 50 mile commute by a combination of trains and buses took about 3-5 hours, sometimes more with delays and and even longer with all the people that would commit suicide by train.

That same trip only took about 1-2 hours by car in the worst traffic in the USA.

Where I live public transport is practically non-existent.

I take the bus to work in the morning because it is convenient and relaxing to just sit back and listen to music and not concentrate on driving.

I drive for everything else like groceries and recreation like going to the gym/swimming.

Walking.

Free and can avoid hobos that would be on the bus or at the bus terminals.

Public transport is better for budget and an ecological matter, i believe.

[Grendalcat]

Driving. Where I live public transport is slow, inconvenient, and not especially safe.

And the less I am exposed to the public, the better.

[saranacX]

Driving fo shizzle.

[Nomad]

Driving usually unless I wanna meet someone and then I go on public transport.

[luvLunix]

I prefer driving in my own car. Smells a lot better and there's less people trying to mug me.

[MinionJoe]

Depends on where I am. I certainly wouldn't want to drive in NYC (at least, not again), but the MTA was very handy (at least it was a few years ago).

My hometown doesn't have any real public transport, so I drive. And I enjoy it.

[Devsman]

When the eff is this self-driving taxi stuff gonna happen already?

I mean, FFS, we were talking about this forever and a day ago.

I'd *much* rather take public transportation (the industry I worked in for most of my adult life), but it has to take me where I need to go, when I need to be there, and without a half dozen transfers or waiting longer than ten minutes either way, anywhere along the route.

That'll never happen where I live though, so I'm sticking with my car.
