Also a good point. Reducing the number of cars on the road makes driving more attractive because the commute time is both faster and more flexible. Someone like you needs an incentive to ride the train beyond “the greater good.” That’s not a criticism of you, that’s a failure of society to place adequate emphasis on making the greater good a priority. People are necessarily myopic when it comes to day to day decisions.
Even if the time was equal, the costs associated with public transit is insane here. It can’t compete with cars in neither time, flexibility, money, comfort.
It’d make it completely impossible for me to keep my family life functioning and have an adequate job.
