I have no doubt this will be heavily contested, but below are what I see as the advantages and disadvantages of cars.
Advantages
>Car owners are more loyal, due to both having a car and by potentially having more free time for consuming radio/TV propaganda programs.
>Car owners have the highest loyalty cap, which in turn means car owners will have the highest productivity cap.
>Car owners are much less likely to miss needs due to running out of free time. This is because car owners waste less of their free time and don't wait at stations if they can help it.
>Cars can be used to ensure workers' needs are met when their work time is very long due to travel time (working longer multiplies need amounts, which can be hard to satisfy with public transportation).
>Car owners don't have a Spread Delay timer when they drive to work, which shortens their day and makes them available for work more often.
>Cars can be a good option for ensuring remote workplaces are not empty thanks to their higher frequency and higher speeds.
>Flexibility - Roads can serve generally any number of cars with the right planning as there are many options available to suit the situation and budget, and if you need to alter your road network, you have many tools to do it easily.
>Cars allocate worker/passenger slots automatically and with less waste of man-hours than public transport typically can.
>Car owners do not need to wait for public transit and thus will not go home after waiting an hour at a station.
>Car owners can still use public transportation if they can't get a job or meet their need(s) within their car's range. This means you could have them commute to work by public transportation and then drive to satisfy their free time needs.
