When I lived in the city, I'd take the bus if I didn't have a car or it was unavailable. I'd do the same in this small town if there were any, but the local gov't doesn't want to put money into it. We need it badly. If you don't have a car or a ride, you are screwed! Espacially, when very hot/cold!

I live in NYC, which has an extensive public transportation system. I do not need a car and using public transportation is better for the environment.

I drive 30-40 mins to work which would be a 2 hour commute one way if I took public transportation.

I would if it was available. where I live in Austin Texas there is public transportation but it is a 30 minute drive to the nearest transit center and then most places take 2 or more hours transferring from bus to light rail to get to my destination. Or I can drive myself in about 45 minutes.

I live in the county and no buses available. I drive a car now, but in 3 months will turn 80 and want to stop driving. I will sell my car and pay people to take me to appts and vets etc. I have groceries and pet supplies delivered.

There are no buses in the country. If I lived in a big city, maybe I would.

It's not an option. I live out in the country ca. 5 miles from town.

Living in the country it's not an option. Sometimes ride the L in Chicago during family visits and we were on and off the subway in NYC last fall -- the only way to get around!
