Upvote if you don’t have a car,

Downvote if you do.

No I’m not farming karma, there’s no counter on Lemmy. This is the only way to run a poll.

    I have a car, but I don’t want to. My work or any interesting shopping is about 6 miles away, mostly uphill on a highway in a very desert-like area so I couldn’t comfortably bike, and the public transportation is practically nonexistent (and was recently cut to not run on the weekend at all).

    I do take my bike most weekends when I can, though. It’s been a great experience.

    I have three, I’m a car enthusiast. I want to enjoy my car without the entirety of society being required to own them to exist.

    Even if the dream is achieved and taking my car is more expensive and slower than public transit (which it should be), I’d still drive most of the time because I actually enjoy it. I’d rather not share the road with people that also actually want to be there. It’d be a safer and more pleasant experience.

    just a heads up, this method of polling won’t account for people on instances without downvote turned on, like mine. hopefully we’re statistically insignificant enough not to skew your results

    I have a public transport card from work, a bicycle and take a train whenever I do need to go further. Once or twice a year tho, I do have to call a friend who has a car

    35 years old and I’ve never learned to drive. I’ve just been lucky enough to never had the need. I’ve always lived either in the centre of a city or in a place where public transport just made more sense (London and Japan). I currently live in neither of those situations, but I get by just fine on my bicycle.

    My wife drives, though only rarely, and she’s pushing me to get around to learning.

      If you have access to one, it’s worth learning how to. The longer you wait, the more difficult it is to learn. 35 is by no means too late (I’m 36 without a license), but it’s also worth not waiting much more.
