Its awful to go on public transport.

People have cars for the same reason people like their own apartment or their own house. Other people are awful to be around. They will have no problem making loud noises, caughing at you, smelling bad... People dont care, at all.

People actually pay very much to own a car, and why do they do that? Because public transport is a horrible experience. Im addition to the things above, it takes you at least 2-3 times as long to get anywhere using public transport compared to a car.

I really hate it, no joke. Cant stand using it for more than maybe once per month if I have to.

    I dont live in Vienna. There are actually other countries in the world and life is quite different depending on where you live. Thats why people dont have just one opinion about these things.

    Lemmy is funny for downvoting an opinion about liking cars. :) But I know why. Its because many people here want others to like what they like. And its very annoying when they like things like driving, since its bad for the environment. And they wish everyone would take the bus.

    As a general rule, you should always assume people write their personal opinions here since its not a scientific paper you are reading. I would never assume that you speak for the world when you write a comment here.

    Driving requires you to be constantly alert, and if you screw up or don't react fast enough, you can straight up die because of it. On a bus, you can be on your phone, read a book, take a nap, whatever. Driving is a much worse experience and even if public transit takes more time, that's time that can be used doing things. That's before factoring the cost (the car itself, gas, insurance), the environmental impact, parking, etc.
