Any practical reasons to use public transport instead of a car?

    What's so good about the concept of cars? Now, personal jetpacks, that I can see.

      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).

        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.

          Why can't we have rickshaws in the U.S.? It would certainly help cure the unemployment and obesity problem in one fell swoop...
          If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.

              But we do have them - in ChinaTown, SF they are a great tourist attraction.
