If I am riding the metro at peak hours then I wait a minute or two.
If off-peak then I leave the house at the appropriate time so as not to have to wait.
There are stops, but they are predictable and short. Nothing at all like the experience of being in a car.
> You been on US public transit?
Yes, and in my experience, my insurance company does not raise my rates if someone damages a metro car.
> You pay for public transit while you're not using it.
In the same way that I pay for car infrastructure when I'm not using it, except that I pay a lot more for car infrastructure I don't use than people who don't ride the metro pay for that.
So you never have to wait for a vehicle and all of your routes are direct with no stops? I doubt that.
> worrying about the vehicle being damaged
You been on US public transit?
> knowing that I'm still paying for it even when I'm not using it
You pay for public transit while you're not using it.
>, those things all annoy me.
Then I guess public transit annoys you just as much if not more if you are in the US.
