I live almost three miles from the nearest bus stop, taking the bus to school and work would take 4 to 6 hours, and driving to the train station, parking, catching a train, and getting from the station to where I'm going would take close to two hours instead of a 35-minute drive. If mass transit were to approach the price of gas and time of driving, I would take it. Until then, I will continue to guzzle gas and pollute the air.
I have a car because I saved money, chose one, and bought it. It is my property and therefore I am entitled to it both literally and philosophically.
