Oh yes now that I am in a small city. With several bus routes.
That's how I became familiar with the area when I got here. The busses go into other bigger cities.
Unfortunately the whole area's only DMV isn't on any of the routes. Yet the malls, hospitals and only airport is on one of the routes.
I really don't understand why the busses don't go anywhere near the DMV. 🤷🏻♂

You’re winning!
I live in DFW and we literally have the highest premiums because people here don’t know how to drive and it’s so dangerous.
If I didn’t have kids, I would totally be living that lifestyle of riding my bike because then I could also be getting exercise and I could save money by not having to go to the gym.
But yeah, car maintenance and the upkeep is something no one told me about whenever I got my first car knowing that anything at any time could literally break and I don’t know why I keep running over nails, but it’s like every 6 months have to get a new tire 🙄 not to mention how expensive oil changes are so if you are like me and you have a lot of kids, you have to get a vehicle that will fit your kids and usually that vehicle requires expensive oil changes 😩😩 I mean $90 may not seem like a lot, but it is a lot 🙄

@TurtlePink Yeah, that's a lot of bills and a lot of stress off my shoulders since selling it. This city has crazy drivers too

I have come away from home and am writing from a hotel room some 180 miles away. I have left my car behind and come on the train and will be using public transport for the next few days to explore city and countryside. If you are fit and able enough to walk to the nearest bus stop, in most places it's possible.
However, in many other places with low density population you're often stuck for transport for everyday living. It takes a lot longer to go by transit than by personal car for local journeys very often.

Locally yes.
I can walk or take a bus into town, whence buses to some other parts of the county.
I can reach many other parts of the country easily by train from here in SW England, and without needing go via London.
Some of my social journeys would be very difficult or even impossible without a car.

@caPnAhab We don't have good infrastructure for biking either. It can even cost you a life outside cities.

I think i probably could....if pushed to.
Itd sometimes be awfully cold and dark, and often way too early or late to be out so exposed....but i think i could uncomfortably make it work.
I do often think, (in summer), 'i could pushbike to work😇'
....but then winter comes along, and i wonder, 'what on earth was i thinking !' 🤦♀

@OogieBoogie I'm assuming you live in a desert? Your area sounds similar to mine, that we both experience two opposite extremes of weather
Every winter I forget how hot summer gets. Every summer I forget how cold winter gets lol
