Advantages to being car free:
- Never on time
- Spend a whole four hours or more for one trip.
- Deal with weirdos on the public limo.
- Standing around.
- Waiting or riding in the rain.
- Get sick because a passenger on the public limo was sick.
- Your driver doing brake checks

- Have to deal with “Housed neighbors” who have god awful perfume/cologne.
- No seats available because one person wants to take up three seats.
- bus fare is $1.75 per bus. No transfer.
- light rail round trip (depending on distance) starts at $15. This doesn’t include transfer

- carry all your groceries that is at least 8 bags or more & hope none of them break in transit & not raining.
- Hope the public limo waits for you or doesn’t close the door on you as you’re getting on or off.
- Deal with loud people.
- The drunk that reeks that sit next to you.

Yes. Not having a car is great 🙄

Let’s also include:

- motion sickness from the bus or train.
- depending where you live : inappropriately bumping into you because, brake checks.
- dealing with the passengers that get off the same stop as you, doesn’t stop talking at you, follows you till you give a attitude.

All this is from someone who has been “car free” for almost 40 rotations around the sun.

I’ll be more than glad to help someone go car free. Give me your car as a “gift”.

Thanks
