I don't want to be crowded around strangers, feeling awkward and anxious, in a shitty big vehicle that is constantly jerking and rumbling and takes 4x as long to get where I need to go.
Im sticking to cars. The fuckcars group can suck a fat one. And this is the only place I can vent about it so why not.
So get better mass transit. Metros in most of asia are comfortable enough to take a nap and significantly faster than cars, and at least in Japan even the buses are smooth enough I can nap.
Imagine how much less crowded it would be if so much space wasn't wasted on car infrastructure.
The reason for all of the inconveniences you've listed is the car-centric urban infrastructure. So yeah, fuck cars.
My trains, trams, and buses are rarely crowded. Maybe at peak rush hour.
High frequency makes them not crowded. You're complaining about a poorly designed public transit system, which is probably all you've ever encountered.
Lucky you. My city, Edinburgh has one of the highest rated public transport systems. The buses and trams are always full. I use them often but I hate every second of it, it's a horrible experience, card machines that randomly refuse random cards while accepting others, anti social behaviour, litter strewn about the bus by the recent passengers, windows being opened when it's cold and closed when it's sweltering, buses showing up at random times, rude drivers, ridiculous charges for jumping on the tram without a ticket because the ticket machines weren't working, cancellations and route diversions that aren't properly sign posted leaving you standing for half an hour with a ticket you can't refund before some kind soul happens to walk past and give the news that the route stopped 3 stops back, a 45 minute journey becomes 2 hours. I could go on and on, public transport is necessary but under capitalism it's shit. I'll stick to driving when I don't have time for deviations.
Bicycling would alleviate all of these ... except for the last one. (Now it takes 10x as long to get where you need to go. But it's not crowded, no social anxiety, no shitty big vehicle, less jerking and no rumbling...)
My 3 mile bike ride takes 2 minutes longer door to door than driving.
As has been repeated a few hundred times in this thread already, the part that makes it takes so long is car centric infrastructure. If you live in suburbia where you have a population density of 1k/mi2 (400/km2) you will have to travel a much more significant distance than if you live in a place that has 9k/mi2 (3500/km2)
Then with less car centric infrastructure the benefit of having parking right next to work starts to go away and the extra space can be used to shorten commutes as well
