I'm a public transit user cuz I learned to drive at 21 a year ago. I live in a US city that isn't NY or SF but decent on public transit in the areas I frequent...

I hate that car ownership is mandatory in America, I'll basically have no choice after I graduate, give or take a few years but to have the level of adult independence I want l will need a car.

Euro cyclists cannot even understand the difficulty of cycling as commute in many many areas that could geographically be just fine for it, but this was just never thought of

I am beginning to understand how this young country must be so tacky and cheap to the rest of the world. Ok no /b/ politics in the replies please. It's just sad that we don't have this thing that should be an integral part of a healthy society. Auto industry has even convinced people public transit use is something to be looked down on
