I do everything I can to avoid public transportation. It's not worth the risk or the annoyances with aggressive and dangerous people. If I lived in Asia (which I did before), I'd love to use public transportation because the people are not aggressive, won't attack or kill me. That's not the case in the USA

Most of the places within public transportation range are also within biking range, so I prefer biking. The end result is the same: one less car off the road.

Now if you say "What about all the crazy drivers??" think about this: have you ever considered that you might be the crazy driver? Maybe not 100% of the time, but maybe one day you're stressed so you speed up to get through a red light, or you really need to read this text because it's important. You only need to be a crazy driver for 30 seconds to end someone's life. Something that's almost impossible to do on public transportation or on a bike.

Yeah I don’t bike for that reason. There’s no way I’ll ride a bike around cars and I can’t believe others put their life in the hands of people texting and driving.
