I’m a person living in a rural area and have to either go by train, the nearest station being 15 mins away by car and the trains having a schedule that keeps fluctuating.

Or have to go by car where it takes 60 mins to get where I need to go. I wouldn’t want to get a late pickup or anything outrageous just something to get me places.

I’m not a car enthusiast or anything like that.

    I hope my local government makes bus service better then as the alternative is more than 3 hours of bus rides with a large cramped bus :/

      Yup. I also find myself in an american car-dependent suburb and it’s honestly hell here. Public transit is basically non-existent, and we don’t even have sidewalks. I really wish america would do better on walkable cities and public transit. It’s annoying.

        Fair enough I’m in a rural town in Europe and it’s mostly an issue of having to get to the city, thankfully I don’t need to use a car for anything else other than getting to work and maybe the nearest large town but that’s mostly due to the fact that a family sadly needs loads of groceries to feed itself.

          yeah if you do most of your day to day tasks without a car and just use a car sometimes then that’s great. the issue is like how it is here in america where you literally can’t do anything without a car. it sucks.
