Totally agreed. I would much rather sit in stop-and-go traffic for an hour than stand in a crowded bus or subway for the same hour.

Especially with all the sensors and smart safety features that modern cars come with, I don't feel that driving is any more stressful than having to balance myself on a constantly shaking bus while holding onto a crappy rubber handle, for example.

A reserved seat in an actual train, though, would be a different story.
