It sounds like you just haven’t experienced living in a place with good transit.
I’m not talking just about clean and safe. I’m talking about frequent, dense, and reliable. Good transit. In Montreal we don’t even have an amazing transit system, just a decent one that covers only parts of the city, and I would never never drive to work except if I need to haul some heavy thing because who wants to deal with all that shit (traffic, parking, other drivers etc). On the regular I just hop on transit and watch youtube videos or read or whatever for 30 minutes. And that’s at a place that could use a LOT (and I mean a LOT) of improvement.
