Driving is the most comfortable, convenient, and fun mode of transportation. Walking and biking can be OK but only for traveling relatively short distances in good weather. Mass transit is inherently unpleasant. No matter how nice you try to make it (and most mass transit systems aren’t nice) the fact of the matter is that passengers are still stuck in a crowded box with a bunch of strangers and limited to traveling to the mass transit system’s destinations on the mass transit system’s schedule. Compare this to getting into your own car and driving wherever you want, whenever you want…

I currently live in a place too crowded for driving to be practical - I get that places like this need mass transit. But needing mass transit sucks!

    trains are the best mode of transportation to me. i don’t know how to drive and have no desire to learn. it’s stressful, expensive, and time-consuming to learn. trains in my area are regular enough and even if you can’t get a seat then you’ll get to your destination quick enough that it’s not an issue. you don’t have to worry about traffic or really doing anything once you’re onboard. i understand that some people need to drive but honestly don’t know why anyone would enjoy it.
