Upvote if you don’t have a car,
Downvote if you do.
No I’m not farming karma, there’s no counter on Lemmy. This is the only way to run a poll.
just a heads up, this method of polling won’t account for people on instances without downvote turned on, like mine. hopefully we’re statistically insignificant enough not to skew your results
I have a car, but I don’t want to. My work or any interesting shopping is about 6 miles away, mostly uphill on a highway in a very desert-like area so I couldn’t comfortably bike, and the public transportation is practically nonexistent (and was recently cut to not run on the weekend at all).
I do take my bike most weekends when I can, though. It’s been a great experience.
I have a car but I wish I had an alternative. In my city busses take so long I literally go faster by foot.
I might be wrong. But I think if cars were banned, we would have better public transportation.
I have three, I’m a car enthusiast. I want to enjoy my car without the entirety of society being required to own them to exist.
Even if the dream is achieved and taking my car is more expensive and slower than public transit (which it should be), I’d still drive most of the time because I actually enjoy it. I’d rather not share the road with people that also actually want to be there. It’d be a safer and more pleasant experience.
I don’t have a car but I could afford one. It’s getting more and more tempting to get one. My husband and I are our mid 30’s and we all too often rely on friends and family for a lift. It feels likes like we’re not so much car free as carless.
I’ve never had a car but am considering it for the first time in my life, at least temporarily. My upcoming internship is at a school in a relatively rural village, and it’s technically under the 1.5 hours travel time my college promises, but only by 10 minutes. Compared to the travel time by car which is 35-45 minutes depending on the time of day. Even in a country as dense and non-car friendly as the Netherlands it still sucks ass to get anywhere more rural without a car.
