comment: I used to live in a big US city and didn’t have a car. Public transit worked great most of the time. What sucked was if I needed/wanted to go somewhere that wasn’t accessible or needed to go at a time that didn’t work for the train/bus schedule. I also often felt kind of trapped because I couldn’t really get out of the city without a car. This was before Uber and I was too poor for a taxi most of the time.
