I used public transportation last night and I'm reminded by most people will continue to not use it.
It took an hour and a half to get home from the airport, something that would have taken twenty minutes by car alone. Not only that but that hour and a half was spent listening to thugs speak colorfully about how many people they had threatened that day with their piece.
I'll stick to my planet-destroying car, thanks.
Mass Transport is pretty efective in EU. I travel each day 40 miles (64Km) to and from work(80miles total). Half of that is during rush hour in city with population over 1M people. It takes 90 minutes by mass transport and 75 by car.
Cost is ~75$$ per month using mass transport (bus, metro) or ~280$$ using car - average salary in this country (Czech Republic) is ~1000$$$ per month after taxes.
