We are talking about an equivalent 'pod/train car', not a car but I'll bite anyway
Have you ever been on a train? It sucks, a bus 10000% more, buses fuckin suck so much, I'm sorry for you to hear this in the echo chamber which features 'fuck cars'.
Like I said, trains and buses have 2 big negatives:
Trains especially so, my local train would be a 20-30 minute walk away and it goes far south and to the city, if i don't want to go to either of those I'm in for a 5 hour marathon of a trip at best
But we should invest more in trains you might be saying, and again the question goes back to, why would a train be better than a pod/car that can roll around on train tracks
This whole thread took the original meaning and warped it into a circle jerk about trains which is not what the OP was saying
Have you?
Trains and buses, when funded, are fine. Millions of people take them every day.
I work from home but I used to daily commute by train. Walk to station. Wait a few minutes. Get on. Arrive at destination. I read so many books and finished so many games.
sadly yes

and as mentioned I need my car to get there:

The facts you are using to support your argument point largely to a failure of the particular transit system currently implemented in your country and area.
When a country invests heavily in car infrastructure, cars are easier to use.
