I’m 25 and I don’t have a drivers license. I mean, I’ve never really felt the need to go and get one. Public transport is usually the fastest option where I live, and it takes a lot less responsibility to use it.
But most people would still prefer driving, rather than using the public T. Why?
I can answer for Israel at least, public transport is really bad and slow here, it doesn’t reach everywhere, it doesn’t work on Saturdays and generally isn’t on time, sometimes they skip stops altogether and sometimes trips are just suddenly cancelled.
