I noticed there isnt really a car community on Lemmy, but some of you guys must be driving cars....!

Im only asking because I just leased a new Volvo XC-40 and its amazing to drive. Really, really happy every time i get into it. Also because the music system is pretty damn good and I can play deezer songs and also music from usb stick. :)

I'm kiiiinda okay with monetary costs, rather just stressed to drive and concerned about environmental impact of private transportation.

So, public transport is still my choice! :D

I know what you mean.

I think for me, I just couldn't stand the public part of public transport. It may sound weird, but I got really depressed standing like an animal in a fully packed train full of loud people...

Of course not everyone have my experience with it, so opinions will vary.

Yes, I perfectly see where you're coming from and pray for the expansion of public transit and stepping away from the concept of "well, they fit in" as a metric of capacity.

People should be able to move around with comfort, not wait for ages for their bus to arrive only to be crammed in. There should be more comforts in general, more secluded spaces, better planning, seats for everyone.

Part of me wonders what our public transit system would look like if we could actually put all the money we buy cars on and directly use it to develop public options. We could quite literally build our transportation from goddamn gold should we want to for whatever reason. But that's daydreaming.

Until then...happy driving!
