    I would love to have a public transit option for my commute, but I get enjoying the drive on the winding roads through the trees. But I don’t even understand at all wanting to drive in the city. Traffic and lights and trying to find a place to park is enjoyable how?

      I like using my bike in the city, so much. The bike lanes often move faster than car traffic, and I have NEVER had real trouble finding a spot to lock it up. And its gotten even better in recent years with these huge tube racks, that provide some serius steel to U-lock my bike to.

    I am fortunate enough to have public transit when I need to comute. Even if it can get very packed during rush hours, it’s either 20 minutes of getting very aquainted with lack of space or sitting for 2 hours in traffic. What pains me is that there are remote areas that are fairly unaccessible if you don’t have a car when going on a trip in the countryside for example. I’d love some form of faster transportation in those areas+local attractions. It’s sad to see those area plans where you are literally car dependent if you want to move around because walking/biking/electric scooters can be a bit inconvinient(distance over time, shopping etc.) because infrastructure can be fucking great when roads aren’t congested. I’m tired of hearing people say that they need 2 cars for stupid reasons.
