Because I just jump in mine and go where ever I want. I can't do that with PT. I need a car to get to PT in Jersey, and the PT buses are unreliable in Atlanta, GA (which I'd need to get to the PT trains).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

In Britain, it's road tax + fuel tax + maintainance + tolls + parking.
However where I live, they're closing the rail bridge at weekends this month. In the same month they're doing major road works on the routes into the city. At the height of the tourist season.
I dream of Soviet style levels of efficency.Res ipsa loquitur
