If you're living in an urban are, then you're better off NOT buying a car and using public transport instead.

But people do still buy cars, I assume voluntarily, so there must be some benefit for them.

I live in a urban area and my commute by public transport is twice as long as by car. Yes I know it's not something to be celebrating - but I am definitely and objectively better off by using a car.

And take 1h 30m for that ride that is done in 30 minutes? No thanks.
